Table 203.  Functions for the LdExp Block
Function Description
ilogb(a) Outputs the integer logarithm of input, a, to the base 2. q=floor(log2|a|).
ldexp(a,b) outputs the first input, a, scaled by 2 raised to the power of the second input, b.

q = a.2b .

The Function mask parameter selects either ldexp or ilogb. The number of input ports on the block change according to the number of operands.
