WE are trying to down load data from a nuclear data multichannel
analyzer to a chromemco.  The data is in 24 bit numbers.  It
leaves the nuclear data machine thru a rs232 port as a sequence
of 4 byte words the lowest 6 bits are the data the highest 2 tell
the order of that particular word.  Has anybody written a
program to convert the sequence to an ascii real number . Help in
this area would be appreciated.  The efficiency of the program is
of importance sincere are trying to obtain real time graphics on a
tektronix 4025 of the data from the experiment.  Joel
