BIT Bit
Description
The BIT places either a “0” or a
“
1” in the destination. A
“0”
indicates the bit is off. A
“
1”
indicates the bit is on.
Specifying the bit number: When you specify the bit number, remember the following:
n The bit number is limited from 0 to 63. If you enter a negative number for the bit number,
the bit number defaults to 0. If you enter a number that is greater than 63, the bit number
defaults to the remainder of the number divided by 64.
n
The least significant bit is bit 0. The most significant bit is bit 63.
n Floating-point numbers are changed to a 64-bit integer before BIT is executed.
The BIT command can be used to determine information about the status byte or a memory
card inserted into the spectrum analyzer’s memory card reader. (See “HAVE” for more
information about determining information about the memory card.)
