OR Gate


The OR Gate passes .true if any of its input status values are .true.

This table lists what the OR Gate passes:

If It passes
Any input is .true
.true
All inputs are .false
.false
Maximum Unknown Inputs or fewer are unknown, and the rest are .false
.false
More than Maximum Unknown Inputs are unknown, and the rest are .false
unknown
All inputs are unknown
unknown

Note: If any input is .true, the OR Gate always passes .true, even if the number of unknown inputs is greater than Maximum Unknown Inputs.

Configuring

 This is the configuration panel for the OR Gate.


Attribute Description
Logic
This attribute is for fuzzy logic, which NeurOn-Line does not support. If you want to use fuzzy logic and have GDA, refer to the documentation that came with GDA.
Use Expired Inputs
See "Determining Path Attributes for Peer Input Blocks".
Maximum Unknown Inputs
The number of inputs that can have a Status-value of unknown when determining whether the output inference value is .false or unknown.
Output Uncertainty
This attribute is for fuzzy logic, which NeurOn-Line does not support. If you want to use fuzzy logic and have GDA, refer to the documentation that came with GDA.

Example

This figure shows an OR Gate connected to four entry points:


This table shows some sample input and output values for the OR block in the previous figure, with Maximum Unknown Inputs set to 2:
