# Class=61 (0x3D) - Double precision floating point measurement

    CLASS1.MEASUREMENT64X1

## Description

Floating point double precision measurements. This class mirrors the standard measurement events is [CLASS1.MEASUREMENT=11](./class1.measurementx1.md). The measurement unit is always expressed in the standard unit.

The value is a "double"	- IEEE-754, 64 Bits, double precision.

    s eeeeeeeeeee mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    s = sign bit ( 1-bit )
    e = exponent ( 11-bits )
    m = mantissa ( 52-bits )
