Circuit Code

	Circuit Code		Represents the method in which the switch records data.
	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 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 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 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 gray code.
	Other Code Type		A code type other than those listed above.
	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.
