Floating-point Math Instructions Section 3-15
Description SQRT(466) calculates the square root of the 32-bit floating-point number in
S+1 and S and places the result in R+1 and R. (The floating point source data
must be in IEEE754 format.)
The source data must be positive; if it is negative, an error will occur and the
instruction will not be executed.
If the absolute value of the result is greater than the maximum value that can
be expressed as floating-point data, the Overflow Flag will turn ON and the
result will be output as
±∞.
The following diagram shows the relationship between the input data and
result.

Error Flag ER ON if the source data is not recognized as floating-point
data.
ON if the source data is negative.
ON if the source data is not a number (NaN).
OFF in all other cases.
Equals Flag = ON if both the exponent and mantissa of the result are 0.
OFF in all other cases.
Overflow Flag OF ON if the absolute value of the result is too large to be
expressed as a 32-bit floating-point value.
Underflow Flag UF OFF
Negative Flag N OFF
