FLOAT:
32-bit IEEE floating point number spanning 2
registers. The lower-addressed register is the
high order half (i.e., contains the exponent).
B.4: Floating Point Values
Floating Point Values are represented in the following format:
The formula to interpret a Floating Point Value is:

Formula Explanation:
C4E11DB9 (hex)
11000100 11100001 00011101 10111001
(binary)
The sign of the mantissa (and therefore the number) is 1, which represents a nega-
tive value.
The Exponent is 10001001 (binary) or 137 decimal.
