defFLOAT Directive

The defFLOAT directive directs SPLat/PC to create a floating point variable and reserve a nominated amount of RAM to hold its data.  The variable will be initialised to 0 at power on.

Syntax:

Label     defFLOAT      {NumberOfFloats}

Where:

• Label is the name of the variable
• NumberOfFloats is optional and may be used to specify how many floats should be reserved for the variable.  It defaults to 1.  Reserving more than one is useful for making a buffer or an array of floats.

Be aware a float occupies 4 bytes of RAM, so only use them when you have to as RAM space is limited.

An error will be raised if SPLat/PC is unable to find enough free RAM.
