title: 32 bit hex to 32 bit floating point (IEEE 754) conversion in matlab
body: <p>How can I change the 32 bit hex-value to a floating point value according to the IEEE 754?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <pre><code>...
  data = fread(fid,1,'float32');
  disp(data);
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this answer:</p>
  
  <p>4.2950e+009
  1.6274e+009
  ...</p>
  
  <p>But how do I get 32 bit floating point (IEEE 754) numbers?</p>
