Workshop PG5 Exercise Chapter 4
Comparaters:
Comparaters are used to compare two values. These values can be two integer
values, or two decimal values. The output is a binary value of a 1 or a 0.
There are several options for comparaters:
1. two values are equal
2. one value is greater than another.
3. one value is greater than or equal to another.
4. one value is smaller than another.
5. one value is smaller or equal to another.
These are your choices.
Create a new file, and name it Comparaters. Open the file, and click on the F-
box selector icon. (If you don’t remember this icon, refer back to the AND gates
segment). Now activate the pull down menu for the F-box family selections.
(again, refer to the AND gates segment for help).
Highlight and click on integers. Next, activate the pull down menu for the funtions.
Highlight and click on “is equal to”. Your display should look like this:
Position and paste four comparaters on the program page. Do this in a vertical
format.
Now the symbols are in place, so we need to create the symbol list.
Enter into the list the following:
Drag and drop the MainControl symbol and all the input symbols into the left column
of your program page. Drag and drop the output symbols into the right column
of your program page.
