Syntax
SetBit( tagName, numBitNumber )
- tagName
- The name of an Integer tag where the bit value will
be set.
Note: To
directly specify the name of a tag, rather than take the value of
the tag, you must enclose the tag name in double-quotes. For
example, SetBit( "Second", 1
).
- numBitNumber
- A numeric tag or value specifying the position
(0…31) of the bit to set.

Notes
You can also use the Bit field to read/write values
from specific bits of an integer tag. For example, enter
Second->b0 to access the LSB
(Least Significant Bit of the Second tag), and Second->b31 to access the MSB (Most
Significant Bit of the Second tag).

Tag |
GetBit( "numSource", 4 ) // If the
tag numSource held a value of 0,
then this function returns 0 and numSource holds a new value of 16. |
Tag |
GetBit( "numSource", 1 ) // If the
tag numSource held the value 17,
then this function returns 0 and numSource holds a new value of 19. |
