Not quit. It means Cnxs is cut short at 300.

But Cnxsorange is cut if it exceeds 600 back to 300. Or else it will hold
input which might be anywhere from 0 to 599.

So if input is 450 you would get Cnxs=300 and Cnxsorange=450 which would
stack for a nice value of 750 which I think should be quite red.

You might want to do:
	CDEF:CnxsOrange=input,600,GE,300,input,300,-,IF

IF (input >= 600)
THEN CnxsOrange = 300
ELSE CnxsOrange = input-300


But my RPN is not perfect either so I might be utterly wrong here.

I would advise to use variables instead of hardcoded values. It would make
changing a perimeter an easy exercise instead of counting all occurrances
and hoping you did not miss one.
