NLZ is an assembly instruction. It converts the number in the A register to a standard form 48-bit floating point number in the floating point accumulator (T, A and D registers), using the scaling of the NLZ instruction as a scaling factor.
The scaling is given to the conversion of -128 to 127 (approximately 10-39 to 1039).
For integers, a scaling factor of +1610 will give a floating point number with the same value as the integer. A larger scaling factor will result in a higher floating point number. Because of the single precision fixed point number, the D register will be cleared.
Example
- NLZ+20 (code 151420) Convert from integer to floating point.
NLZ on 32-bit floating point CPUs
The ND-100/110 can have a 48-bit floating point CPU (standard configuration) or a 32-bit floting point CPU (customer option). For 32-bit floating point operations NLZ works as described above, except that the T register is not affected.
