From Condition 4, issuing the 'Load' range command transitions to which condition?

• A. Condition 3
• B. Condition 1
• C. Condition 2
• D. Condition 4

Answer: (A)

In a state-machine way of thinking, each condition is a state and inputs or commands cause transitions to other states. The rule here specifies that when you’re in the state labeled Condition 4 and you issue the Load range command, the system moves to the state labeled Condition 3. So the act of loading the range is defined to take you into the Condition 3 context, where the loaded range is now active and the next steps are governed by that state. This is why Condition 3 is the appropriate destination for that specific command from Condition 4. Other destinations aren’t triggered by this command from Condition 4 according to the transition rule.
