Description:
 def read_float(self, registeraddress, functioncode=3, numberOfRegisters=2):
 """Read a floating point number from the slave. Floats are stored in two or more consecutive 16-bit registers in the slave. The encoding is according to the standard IEEE 754. There are differences in the byte order used by different manufacturers. A floating point value of 1.0 is encoded (in single precision) as 3f800000 (hex). In this implementation the data will be sent as ``'\\x3f\\x80'`` and ``'\\x00\\x00'`` to two consecutetive registers . Make sure to test that it makes sense for your instrument. It is pretty straight-forward to change this code if some other byte order is required by anyone (see support section). Args: * registeraddress (int):
 The slave register start address (use decimal numbers, not hex). * functioncode (int):
 Modbus function code. Can be 3 or 4. * numberOfRegisters (int):
 The number of registers allocated for the float. Can be 2 or 4. ====================================== ================= =========== ================= Type of floating point number in slave Size Registers Range ====================================== ================= =========== ================= Single precision (binary32) 32 bits (4 bytes) 2 registers 1.4E-45 to 3.4E38 Double precision (binary64) 64 bits (8 bytes) 4 registers 5E-324 to 1.8E308 ====================================== ================= =========== ================= Returns: The numerical value (float).
