Certain standard labels in the ARINC 429 specification have 20 significant bits. For example, Label 110 (GNSS Latitude) has a range of +/- 180 degrees, with a resolution of .000172 degrees. In order to accomplish this, how is the word formatted? Does the data run into the SDI field like so?

Or does the sign bit move to bit 31, replacing the SSM instead?
