Selection Processing 
•  If OP_SELECT is non-zero, the OP_SELECT value determines the selected input, 
irrespective of the SELECT_TYPE selection. The value of SELECTED is the number of the 
input used. 
•  If SELECT_TYPE is ‘First Good’, it transfers the value of the first remaining input to the 
output of the block. The value of SELECTED is the number of the input used.

•  If SELECT_TYPE is Minimum, it transfers the lowest value to the output of the block. The 
value of SELECTED is the number of the input with the lowest value. 
•  If SELECT_TYPE is Maximum, it transfers the highest value to the output of the block. The 
value of SELECTED is the number of the input with the highest value. 
•  If SELECT_TYPE is Middle, if there are 3 or 4 values, the highest and lowest value is 
discarded. The average of the remaining two values is computed, and the value is transferred to 
the output of the block. The value of SELECTED becomes zero if an average is used, else the 
value of SELECTED is the number of the input with the middle value. 
•  If SELECT_TYPE is Average, it computes the average of the remaining inputs and transfers 
the value to the output of the block. The value of SELECTED is the number of inputs used in 
the average.
