Math Instructions
Use the LOG instruction to take the log base 10 of the value in the source
and store the result in the destination. The source must be greater than
zero.
Enter the following parameters when programming this instruction:
•
Source is the address to compute the base 10 logarithm.
•
Destination is the address to store the base 10 logarithm of the
Source.
Address Levels for the operands involved in the LOG can be ALL word,
ALL double word, ALL float, or a combination. These operands shall
undergo a conversion to float. The calculation of the source (in float) is
then performed, and the result is then cast to the data type of Destination.
Instruction Operation
When the rung is true, this instruction shall compute the natural logarithm
of the Source and place the result in Destination.
If the Destination is floating point, the result shall always be rounded
using the round to even rule.
