5.10 COMMON LOGARITHM Instruction (LOG)
[Outline]
The LOG instruction uses the Source as the input (x) and stores the common logarithm (Log
10
x
) of the
input in the Dest as the operation result. This instruction can be used only in a real number operation.
[Format]

Source
(Input)
· Any real number type register
· Any real number type register with subscript
· Constant
Dest
(Output)
· Any real number type register (except for # and C register)
· Any real number type register with subscript (except for # and C register)
[Program Example]
The common logarithm of the input value (x = 10.) [Log
10
(x) = 1.0] is calculated.
Notes: LOG instruction is input(x) value is checked, execute the following handling.
· When the input is minus LOG (-1), calculate a absolute value
· When the input is zero LOG (0), take -∞ for solution.
