Scan

The scan operation (or qpl_operation.qpl_op_scan) outputs a bit-vector with the 1-bits correspond to input elements that satisfy a numerical relationship. I.e. it can search for elements that are EQ, NE, GT (etc.) a specified value, or for those values that fall within an inclusive range.

The range is specified with the job fields: qpl_job.param_low and qpl_job.param_high.

The operation will look for those values X that satisfy the following conditions:

Operation	Condition
qpl_operation.qpl_op_scan_eq	X = param_low
qpl_operation.qpl_op_scan_ne	X ≠ param_low
qpl_operation.qpl_op_scan_lt	X < param_low
qpl_operation.qpl_op_scan_le	X ≤ param_low
qpl_operation.qpl_op_scan_gt	X > param_low
qpl_operation.qpl_op_scan_ge	X ≥ param_low
qpl_operation.qpl_op_scan_range	param_low ≤ X AND X ≤ param_high
qpl_operation.qpl_op_scan_not_range	X < param_low OR X > param_high

The number of output bits (i.e. the number of output elements) is the same as the number of input elements.
