S5 floating point format

Does any body have a link to the S5 floating point format?

I have a customer that wants to interface a S5 to our newer controllor which uses standard IEEE 754 format. I saw a document from a third party that indicates the S5 floating point format is non standard but little more. I've google for S5 floating point format but have found nothing that is usable.

Thanks, that is helpful

Now I will be prepared but before that I will try to convince the customer to find a simpler way that can be supported more easily in the future.
