Maximum
ptolemy.actor.lib.Maximum

Read at most one token from each input channel and broadcast the one with the greatest value to the maximumValue output. In addition, broadcast the channel number of the maximum on the channelNumber output port. Either output port may be left unconnected if you do not need its results (this is why these are multiports). This actor works with any scalar token. For ComplexToken, the output is the one with the maximum magnitude. The input port is a multiport.

input
The input port. This base class imposes no type constraints except that the type of the input cannot be greater than the type of the maximumValue output.

maximumValue
The output port for the maximum value. The type of this output is constrained to be at most a scalar.

channelNumber
The output port for the channel number. The type of this output is an integer.
