Combined Filters VZero Line Width Pick 4 The VZero Line Width (VTZ-LW) is a so called "combined filter", a combination of a digit and a math filter. It requires two separate parts to create the filter.
VZero (VTZ) is a different representation of the VTracs (VTX) concept with the difference that the digits start with 0 rather than 1. That simplifies the conversion drastically as the first five digits (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) are the same in both number and VZero conversion. The Line Width is a so called "math filter". Math filters are created through calculations. The Line Width is the difference between the highest and the lowest digit of a number. To show you how to calculate the VZero Line Width filter for a Pick 4 number here an example step by step.
Part I: Pick 4 VZero Line Width Conversion Step 1: Divide 8255 into separate digits: 8255 => 8 2 5 5 Step 2: Convert each digit to filter: 8 = 3 2 = 2 5 = 0 5 = 0 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 3 2 0 0 = 3200
Part II: Pick 4 VZero Line Width Conversion Step 1: Divide the 3200 into separate digits: 3200 => 3 2 0 0 Step 2: Find the highest digit: 3 2 0 0 => 3 Step 3: Find the lowest digit: 3 2 0 0 => 0 Step 4: Subtract the lowest digit from the highest: 3 - 0 = 3
