AcqKnowledge accuracy

AcqKnowledge performs all internal calculations to the accuracy defined by the IEEE format for double-precision floating point numbers and stores the results of those calculations in double-precision floating point format.

This format assigns 8 bytes to all numbers involved in calculations or resulting from calculations. Out of the 8 bytes (64 bits):

• 52 bits are assigned to mantissa
• 1 bit is assigned to sign
• 11 bits are assigned to exponent
