I am trying to create a system to control a can retort.

I can't figure out the syntax for the > (greater then) symbol in calculations.

I want to use a 'greater then' condition on the calculations, but it is not accepting the symbol.

Any ideas?

Hi Paul

I take it your using flowcode to program your system.

Are you using a decision box in which case you will need Or are you using a C Code box in which case you will need If you are using a calculation box then it will fail as this is a comparison not a calculation.

You can use a greater-than symbol in a calculation icon like this:

y = (x > 3)

This will set y to 1 (true) if x is greater than 3, otherwise it will set y to 0 (false).

Hi steve,
Please excuse the content, but what is CAN, is it a new divice to open a tin of Beans? or something totally different, I can see you use a car door on your grapic in V3, but i couldnt find any reference to what it is or does within the help file.
