The function searches for the minimum value and its position in a floating point data table.

Input s1 specifies the starting area of the data table, and s2 specifies the end. The minimum value

is returned at output min and its position at output pos.

The address of the minimum value at output pos is relative to the beginning address in the data

table as specified at input s1.

If more than one minimum value is found, the first one found beginning from the starting address

specified at s1 is stored in d.

This instruction also exists as a P instruction (for FP2/2SH, FP3/5, FP10/10SH PLC types), which

is only executed at the rising edge of the EN trigger. Select [Insert P instruction] from the

"Instructions" pane if you require a P instruction. To facilitate reuse, the instruction then appears

under "Recently used" in the pop-up menu. Press <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<v> within the programming

area to open the list of recently used elements.
