even / odd ?

Hi,

Suggestions as to how I can take say the minutes output of the time function block and test it to see if it is even or odd?

Thanks,

Brian H.

Re: even / odd ?

By using the 'IMOD – Remainder after integer division' funion block. Divide by two and if the result is zero then it is even.
(if you need a pulse every 5 minutes then divide theminutes by 5 and check for zero....)

Checking the first bit is also a possibility, if the first bit (value "1") is high then the number is odd. (Bitwise 'AND' with value 0x01, if result is zero then it is odd. Use BITOP block)
