Setting Up Parameters

Figure 48:

Assignment View

For example, if we entered 2 for the number of Selector Input Destinations, we would have 4
selection lines (Selector.Selection0 through Selector.Selection3). The Selector.Selection
number that is activated is determined by the status of the Selector.Select lines when the
Selector.Selector Initiate bit is activated. Each select line has a specific binary value.

The binary value is determined as follows:

S

n

x 2

n

where S

n

= Status of Selector.Select line n

Sn = 0 if Selector.Select line n is inactive, and

Sn = 1 if Selector.Select line n is active

The sum of all the binary values determines which Selector.Selection line will be active.
