Comparison instructions are used to test pairs of values to condition the
logical continuity of a rung. As an example, suppose a LES instruction is
presented with two values. If the first value is less than the second, then the
comparison instruction is true.
To learn more about the compare instructions, we suggest that you read the
Compare Instructions Overview that follows.
The following general information applies to comparison instructions.
Entering the Instruction
The following items apply when entering the instructions:
• Whenever you see asterisks on the display, the HHP is waiting for data
entry (i.e., a number).
• You can return to previously entered operands by pressing this key:
Then if you want to edit that operand, press DEL or FUN-DEL and enter
new parameters. Press
ENT to accept the operand and move on to the next
one. Once the entire instruction is entered, if you want to edit the
instruction’s parameters you must go into the overwrite mode. (See page
17–4.)
