PRODUCTION DATA.
For positive temperatures (for example, 20°C):
(20°C) / (1°C per count) = 20 → 14h → 0001 0100.
Convert the number to binary code with 8-bit, right-justified format, and MSB = 0 to denote a positive sign.
20°C is stored as 0001 0100 → 14h.
For negative temperatures (for example, –20°C):
(|–20|) / (1°C per count) = 20 → 14h → 0001 0100.
Generate the twos complement of a negative number by complementing the absolute value binary number and adding 1.
–20°C is stored as 1110 1100 → ECh.
