# Select Data

## Overview

![The Select Data Node.](/files/-MIxaVBnlyOhC-2ObH_R)

Because **Input Data Sockets** in Incari can only receive a value from a single connection, this creates a problem when you wish to converge the logic into a single branch. This is why the **Select Data Node** was created, which takes two or more pairs of **Pulse** and **Data** inputs and outputs the value corresponding to the input **Pulse** that the **Node** was executed by.

## Attributes

| Attribute   | Type          | Description                                                                   |
| ----------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Data Type` | **Drop-down** | The type of data that will be plugged into the `Input` **Sockets**.           |
| `Count`     | **Int**       | The number of **Input Pulses** and **Data Values** the **Node** will receive. |

## Inputs

| Input       | Type                                          | Description                                                          |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Pulse [n]` | **Pulse**                                     | The **Pulse** corresponding to the **Data** in the **Socket** below. |
| `Input [n]` | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute**.* | The **Data Value** corresponding to the above **Pulse**.             |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type                                          | Description                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard output **Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the *logic branch*, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Output`           | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute**.* | The `Input` value corresponding to whichever `Pulse` triggered the execution of the **Node**.                                        |
