"IF" function

One way to do if or if-then is to use the 'merge block'. It has 3 inputs and 1 output. The output value is either the value on input pin 2 (true) or pin 3 (false) depending on the true/false value of the 'selector' on input pin 1.

However, your case of low bound limiting of y could be handled by a single limit block with low bound set to 3 and upper bound set to a suitable infinity (1e300).

The case block is similar to merge, except that instead of a Boolean top selector, it is a numeric index selector with a variable number of selection pins. If the selector has value 2 the output pin result is the value on input pin '2'.

How do I go about creating a *.map file? I need a two-column look up table. I have tried Excel, wordpad and such but cannot find a 'save-as' .map option. Please help! Thanks, Eric

You could save blocks using a single expression block for a simple 'If Then Else'.

The expression syntax for 'IF X<=3 THEN Y=3 ELSE Y=X' is '$1<=3?3:$1;' where $1 is the input to the expression block.
