Combined Filters VZero Distance Codes Pick 4 The VZero Distance Codes (VTZ-DSC) is a so called "combined filter", a combination of a digit and a math filter. It requires two separate parts to create the filter.
VZero (VTZ) is a different representation of the VTracs (VTX) concept with the difference that the digits start with 0 rather than 1. That simplifies the conversion drastically as the first five digits (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) are the same in both number and VZero conversion.
To show you how to calculate the VZero Distance Codes filter for a Pick 4 number here an example step by step.
Part I: Pick 4 VZero Distance Codes Conversion Step 1: Divide 9777 into separate digits: 9777 => 9 7 7 7 Step 2: Convert each digit to filter: 9 = 4 7 = 2 7 = 2 7 = 2 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 4 2 2 2 = 4222
Part II: Pick 4 VZero Distance Codes Conversion Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits: 4222 => 4 2 2 2 Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first): 4 to 2 => 2 2 to 2 => 0 2 to 2 => 0 2 to 4 => 2 Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual], 1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]): 2 => N 0 => E 0 => E 2 => N Step 4: Combine the filters to a string: N E E N = NEEN
