Setting Up a Motor  67 
Each type of conversion is discussed below. 
Note: 
If the conversion table has two or more summing entries in a row, only the first 
entry will perform summing. The other entries will only process their source data 
with no summing. This means that it is not possible to directly sum three or more 
sources. To sum three or more sources, an intermediary non-summing entry must 
be used between the second and third source entries. This is accomplished by 
reading the output of the second entry (the first summed entry) with an entry using 
the $68 format. This entry can then be summed into a third source entry using the 
standard technique.
