The FloatingPoint Type described in IEC 9506-2 14.4.2.2. The first octet is exponent width part.
The representation of the subsequent octets is compatible with the single precision IEEE 754 floating-point representation when the number of subsequent octets is four and the value of the initial octet is eight. Compatibility with double precision IEEE 754 floating-point representation exists when the number of subsequent octets is eight, and the value of the initial octet is eleven.
