Math Unsigned Shift Right Operator
The Math Shift Right operator ( >>> ) causes the bits in left operand to be shifted to the right by the number of positions specified by the right operand. An Unsigned Right Shift is a logical shift which means that the bits that are shifted off the end are discarded. The bit positions that have been vacated by the Unsigned Right Shift operation are zero-filled.
The number of bit positions to shift should be between 1 and the maximum number of bit positions in the left operand. Executing an Unsigned Right Shift with a bit count higher than the number of bit positions in the left operand is not an error but will yield a result of 0. Executing an Unsigned Right Shift by 0 bits has no effect. Executing a Right Shift with a negative value for the bit count is undefined; the result will be 0.

One operand is an unsigned integer memory locations, the other is an integer constant.
The 16-bit integer is sign-extended to 32-bits when it is loaded into the math stack.
The lower 5 bits are shifted out. The remaining 11 bits are shifted into the lowest 11 bit positions. The upper 5 positions are filled with 0's.
The result is placed in an unsigned integer memory location.
