Differential
The differential algorithm calculates the greatest difference between all of its inputs and returns a 1 it exceeds a given min threshold or a 0 otherwise.
Usage
This algorithm is often used with two inputs, but can take as many as you like. It always compares the highest value with the lowest one.
Parameters
| Parameter | Meaning |
|---|---|
| min | The threshold value - if the difference is greater than min, it returns 1, otherwise 0 |
| abs | If true or 1, the absolute value of the difference is used, so that min can apply to positive and negative differentials |
| invert | If true or 1, the output of the algorithm is reversed. This changes the algorithm to alerting when values approach one-another rather than drifting apart. |
