I'm not familiar with the IEEE FP format, or the Cinci interface, but it
seems possible you're seeing an artifact of the robot's precision limits.
Do your numbers make sense in that context? i.e.: Are the positions
reported correct as far as they go?
My robots (CRS Plus) only report to four decimal places, though I think
they keep full precision internally.
Just an off-hand thought.
