14.4.52. Select

The Select block outputs one of the data signals (a, b, ...) if its paired select input (0, 1, ...) has a non-zero value.

q = 0 ? a : (1 ? b : d)

If all select inputs are 0, the Select block outputs the default value d. At most one select input should be high at a time.

Table 248.  Parameters for the Select Block
Parameter Description
Output data type mode Determines how the block sets its output data type:
  • Inherit via internal rule: the number of integer and fractional bits is the maximum of the number of bits in the input data types.
  • Specify via dialog: you can set the output type of the block explicitly using additional fields that are available when this option is selected.This option reinterprets the output bit pattern from the LSB up according to the specified type.
  • Boolean: the output type is Boolean.
Output data type Specifies the output data type. For example, sfix(16), uint(8).
Output scaling value Specifies the output scaling value. For example, 2^-15.
Number of cases Specifies the number of non-default data inputs.
