Provides a region of zero output, or a dead zone. output is zero if start of dead zone <= input <= end of dead zone. The data type you wire to input determines the output data type.
The maximum input word length is 32 bits.

Inputs/Outputs
input
—
input is the data point the VI processes.
start of dead zone
—
start of dead zone specifies the low end of the dead zone.
end of dead zone
—
end of dead zone specifies the high end of the dead zone.
output
—
output is the processed data. output = input – start of dead zone for input < start of dead zone output = input – end of dead zone for input > end of dead zone output = 0 for start of dead zone <= input <= end of dead zone |
If the result exceeds the range of the output data type, the result saturates, returning the maximum value representable by the data type with the same sign as the actual result.
