[Emc-users] Float precision/size?

2014-07-02 Thread Churms, Cecil
On page 4 of the HAL Manual V2.6.0-pre4, 2014-06-12 a float is defined as 64 bits (i.e which I refer to as a double in my programming), which I take to be the case within a HAL context. However, on page 44 of the same Manual, it is defined as 32 bits (i.e typically a float). Which is correct?
