Inverting Inputs or Outputs

The inputs and outputs of many function blocks in the group "Logic Functions" can be inverted. A negation is set or reset, for
the selected terminal. To invert (negate) a terminal move the curser over the terminal until a cross appears. Then right click
on the terminal and select "Negated". A negated terminal has a small circle added to it. In the example below the output Q
and the input In2 are negated.
Note: Not all inputs and outputs can be inverted. Mainly the standard function blocks offer this possibility
