6.5. DSP Builder Finite State Machine Design Example

The Finite State Machine example design demonstrates some of the features of the finite state machine (FSM) specification and its function in a primitive subsystem. The example first selects 20 odd numbers from the output of the counter block and then selects 8 multiples of 4 from that same counter. The model file is demo_fsm.mdl.
