The size of the string may be up to 16 characters. It is not necessary to
terminate with NULL.
A valid floating point number string is formed by a succession of:

An optional plus or minus sign.

A sequence of numeric digits, optionally containing a single
decimal-point character.

An optional exponent part, which itself consists on an 'e' or 'E'
character followed by an optional sign and a sequence of digits.
There shall be no characters following the floating point string (including
white space). All characters in the string must be valid.
The following are examples of acceptable entries:
1234
-1234
1234.456
-123.45
0.1234E-03
-23.062E+12 (E or e may be used)
Invalid strings are rejected and an invalid configuration bit is set in
MOD_STATUS register.
The following are invalid examples:
a1234  Alpha character.
1234  Space after digit.
0 . 2  Space between characters.
0.123-E03  invalid expression. Correct entry is 0.123E-03
Adding the NTC to CCW
The 2080sc-NTC is configured for CCW (Connected Components
Workbench) using the PLUGIN_READ and PLUGIN_WRITE instructions
for generic plug-in modules.
The configuration, input data, and status structures discussed in the
sections above, are stored at different memory locations in the module.
