I mean the scaled integers too but I write program mainly in asm not C
;-)

The right 10 bits in your example is exactly what I mean a fractional
part.
To quickly convert it to decimal view some thinking is required. The
advan-
tage of C is that compiler hide the type convertation from programmer.
The
disadvantage is largest data and program memory demanding.

When I have enought of memory I'm also write in C. ;-)
