Median Input Value
The Median Input Value block passes the median of all its input values. It accepts
any number of inputs.
If the Median Input Value block has an odd number of input values, it passes the
middle input value. If the block has an even number of input values, it passes the
minimum of the two middle input values.
Configuring
This is the configuration panel for the Median Input Value block.
Example
The following figures are examples of how a Median Input Value block handles
both odd and even numbers of inputs. In both cases, note that the Median Input
Value block has extra input ports and has been enlarged with the Change Size
menu choice.
This figure shows a Median Input Value block connected to five inputs. It passes
7. (The median of 3, 5, 7, 7, 9 is the middle value.)
This figure shows a Median Input Value block connected to four inputs. It passes
6. (The median of 3, 6, 8, 9 is the lesser of 6 and 8.)
