|
|
| ||
| Circuit Code | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Octal | The octal system consists of 8 symbols, which can represent any quantity. The symbols are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. To represent these in binary format, only 3 bits are needed, because the highest symbol (7) is represented in binary by the bits 111. | ||
| Octal Complement | The logical complement to the above octal code. | ||
| Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) | The code is useful to represent decimal numbers in binary code. In BCD, each decimal digit is represented by the four bit binary representation of the digit. | ||
| BCD Complement | The logical complement to the above BCD code. | ||
| Hexadecimal | Hexadecimal systems use 16 symbols to represent quantities. These symbols are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F. Binary representation of the highest symbol (F) is 1111. | ||
| Hexadecimal Complement | The logical complement to the above Hex. code. | ||
| Gray Code | Gray code is not an arithmetic code like the previous codes. There are no specific weights assigned to the bit positions. The important feature of this code is that there is only one change from successive code numbers. | ||
| Gray Complement | The logical complement to the above Gray code. | ||
| Other Code Type | |||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
