Hello all,
I have been implementing a CAN based communication protocol. During reading the documentation I have found that there are several data types used for physical quantities and each quantity is represented by 16 bits. For example one data type has a description "signed 2's complement word, 1/32 unit per bit". I am not sure what does it mean. My idea is that it means that the quantity range is <-1024; +1023.97>. Please can anybody tell me whether I am correct? Thank you in advance.
