The complete floating point value is constructed by combining readings from the first register with
a second register. An eight Hex digits number will represent the IEEE-754 hexadecimal floating point
value. 32-bit Hexadecimal Representation To Decimal Floating-Point conversion can be performed
if needed.
Example: Reg 14 reading is 44d7, Reg 15 reading is 4000, Mass Flow is 44d74000, which corresponds
to 1722.
**The complete Long integer value is constructed by combining readings from the first register with
the second register. Eight Hex digits will represent the Long integer value.
Example: Reg 24 is 0019, Reg 25 is ED30, Hexadecimal Sound Speed is 0019ED30, which is converted
to 1699120 decimal. Taking into account that Sound Speed has 3 decimal places (from the map), it
corresponds to a value of 1699.120.
