Exercises

A DIL (Dual In-Line) switch is used to set the binary bus address of an electronic module. The first slide switch on the left stands for the LSP (least significant bit) and the last slide switch on the right for the MSB (most significant bit) of the dual number.

The address 82 (Dec) should now be set. In which picture was the DIL switch correctly set to this address 82 (Dec)?
