Hi guys.... I looking for an easy way to add up how many outputs are currently running, which obviously are a 1 status, I was going to use this value in a math equation... Any Ideas? Seems simple enough... Just never tried it Terry

Quick off the top of my head answer: Use indirect addressing and a for next loop that increments an integer by one for each true bit. The attached program has not been tested, and was written very quickly, so may contain errors, but might be of some help. ADD_OUTPUTS.RSS

Thanks Ken.... As usual, the machine design plan has changed in the middle of me writing the program. I may be able to use this tidbit in the future... I'll study it Thanks again You DA Man
