Receivers
X Analog Value from which Y is subtracted
Y Analog Value subtracted from X
Transmitter - - - - Analog
The filtered result of the absolute value of (X – Y) plus the
offset
Function
To calculate the absolute value of one input subtracted from another, set Function to Absolute
Difference
Offset
Adjustment added to the result of the calculation.
Range: -99,999.000 to 99,999.000
Filter
Set the amount of filtering to apply. Filtering smooths signal fluctuations. Increase the time to
increase filtering. Excessive filtering slows the function’s response.
Range: 0.0 to 60.0 seconds
Minimum
This function selects the minimum of up to four inputs. Only inputs connected to a source are
considered. A filter and offset may be applied to the output. The output has the units of the
signal with the minimum value.
