MINR - Minimum Value Across a Range of Values
This instruction can only be used in the Expression parameter of the Calculate Expression (MATH) instruction.
The Minimum Value Across a Range of Values (MINR) instruction determines the minimum value in the specified range of variable locations.
Note: Use the F9 key to open the Default Element Selection Tool (the Element Picker or the Element Browser) or use the Down-Arrow key (Auto-Complete) on any parameter field to see a complete list of the memory locations that are valid for that parameter of the instruction.
Result specifies a location to store the result of the calculation. This can be any writable numeric location.
The Expression parameter consists of all the text between the bounding parentheses. The parameter list must consist of 2 parameters separated by a comma. Each parameter is an expression which can be a constant value, a bit or numeric memory location, an arithmetic expression, and / or mathematical function or other expressions up to a maximum of 1024 characters. Expressions can be nested, so use of parentheses is recommended to ensure proper evaluation order.
This function has two parameters as follows:
The first parameter designates the first location in the range of values. This can be any readable bit data-block location or readable numeric data-block location.
The second parameter specifies the number of successive locations that are in the range. Note that this value is a count value, it does NOT specify the ending location. This can be any constant value from 1 to 65535, or, any regular math expression - for example (D3 - D1), or any readable numeric location.
Note: If the second parameter (Range) is 0, the result will be set to -2147483647 and ST132 (Argument Out of Range) will be ON.
Note: If the second parameter (Range) exceeds the size of the data block, the result will be the minimum value in the range up to the last variable in the block and Argument Out of Range (ST132) will be ON.
For example, assume the block of WX locations has a range of WX0 to WX255. The result of MINR(WX250, 10) would be the minimum value in the range of WX250 through WX255, and Argument Out of Range (ST132) will be ON.
