The path finding software option has already been described in detail, starting on page 5−174.

The Non−Sequential Path Finding table must be used if the tie lines joining the switchers are not wired sequentially, i.e., not

wired as blocks. Basically, the table is designed to enter “exceptions” to the Sequential table. For example, a new tie line that

falls outside the original sequence can be defined on the Non−sequential table; the only change then needed on the Sequential

table would be to increment the “Count” number for the group by 1. (Alternatively, you may prefer to use the Non−sequential

table to define all tie lines individually.)

An example system is shown on page 5−186, with corresponding tables shown on page 5−187. Notice that the Path Finding Data

table, and the Switcher Input tables, must still be used as described in the previous section.
