Abstract
A description is given of the increasing numeric processing requirements encountered during instrumentation development with the Intel 8051 microcontroller and of an assembly-language floating-point package obtained and used. For the authors´ application, where there was plenty of time to perform calculations and program memory to store the software required to perform the calculations, incorporation of assembly-language floating-point routines (compatible with ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985) was an effective method.<>
