At least I have been told that it is similar to LabView. I am using a program called LadderBuilder made by Keyence (A company in Japan) to take readings of an object passing through two optical sensors and then using a series of calculations, give the subsequent speed of the object. Please, please, if you are familiar with this program please help. I have given a printshot of one part of my code and was hoping someone could tell me how the program calculated the temporary memory value in TM01. This value is associated with the remainder of the quotient of the higher order 16 bit value (173) and the lower order 16 bit value (25908). I understand where 407 came from, but no matter what I do, I don't see how it calculated the value (26651)!? Thank you.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with LadderBuilder. However, it looks like it might be based on some kind of assembly language, which suggests that there is likely an instruction or command related to division operations. Have you looked at the documentation for the program to see if it provides any information on this? It may be worth checking the instructions manual or online resources to see if you can find more information.
