Lookup Tables
This section provides information on using a lookup table as an implementation of a subroutine in Statemate. The topics are as follows:
Lookup tables support non-linear “Y=F(X)” functions that are so common in the world of micros. Typically, these non-linear functions are used to represent characteristic curves of valves in a table structure. Such a table may consist of a list of pairs of digitizing points, Xi, and its corresponding value, Fi. The data might be imported from any ASCII data file. A choice is given whether to perform (linear) interpolation between points, or to use a histogram like mode. In addition, saturation values might be defined, for the upper and lower range bounds, as well as a search order to support performance sensitive scenarios.
