The decimal value of a 3.23 format number can be found by following the weighting shown in Figure 52. If the
most significant bit is logic 0, the number is a positive number, and the weighting shown yields the correct
number. If the most significant bit is a logic 1, then the number is a negative number. In this case every bit must
be inverted, a 1 added to the result, and then the weighting shown in Figure 53 applied to obtain the magnitude
of the negative number.
