Well you would have to ask the original poster that, as I quoted him.

Which is what I suspect the OP will really need anyway. As has been
discussed many times on this list, when dealing with sensors it is not
really floating point that is required, but a wider integer, possibly
representing a fixed point value. IIRC the DSP engine is 40 bits wide.
