Hi,

I need to use the queue FIFO structure, but I don't understand how to use the lookup variable.
I did an simple example to understand how to use a lookup in a queue, and I used the same lookup:flat that comes in one of the examples of the reference manual. Everything work's as I think, but when I change the lookup variable to other values, the same result was display. I change the values, like this:

input : 0
output: 3
input: 3
output: 1.

My questions are: The lookup variable is a function where I can match an input with one output? And How affect the queue structure?

the lookup is only used for the initial distribution in the queue. If you start with an empty queue it does not matter what lookup you use.
