Comparing red and green network signals with deciders

[JasonC]

Is it possible to use a decider to compare signals on the red network with corresponding signals on the green one?

What I really want to do is hook a bunch of resource counts (tanks, smart chests) up to one network, emit threshold values from a constant combinator on the other network, then compare them all with a single combinator to see if each resource count is less than its corresponding threshold constant.

If I can't compare signals like this is there some other way to simplify this?

My ultimate goal is to have threshold values for many resources that are tweakable all in one convenient place.

I discovered I can hack it by emitting the negatives of the threshold values from a constant combinator then running both inputs to a decider and comparing each < 0, because the deciders sum the inputs of the red and green networks. Is that the typical strategy?

Yes it is. Congrats on discovering it on your own.
