[esp-r] Re: multi sensor control law example

[Jon Hand]

There is an exemplar model  which uses a multi-sensor mass flow control
in a folder with the name training/cellular_hybrid.  It exists in the Linux
distribution folder as well as on my most recent native windows build
under C:/Esru/esp-r/training/cellular_hybrid.  

If you want to play with an exemplar but do not see if in the list provided i
n the project manager (sometimes a model folder contains many variants)
then just copy the cellular_hybrid folder to a safe location and double
click on the model cfg file.  

I did a quick search for the phrase 'multi-sensor' on my Linux box and 
that seems to be the only exemplar model with that kind of flow control. 

The flow control can be quite powerful with a multi-sensor. I have used
these in consulting jobs to enable window opening strategies e.g.
open window if the outside temperature is over 15C AND less than 24C
AND the inside temperature is greater than 24C.

In case it helps, here is a link to a native windows installer for the 
development_branch revision 9181

"Look for flow law  'multi sensor on/off'  an example
of this is included in the exemplar cellular_hybrid"

My wife insists that I am bad at finding things, but I have searched the
examples that come with the Windows Native installation - upto date as of
February 2013 and am convinced that the aforementioned example isn't there
at least under that name.

Where can I find it or another example of "multi sensor on/off" control?

At present I get an
