6.4 Extracting Bits from a Signal
Some signals can be interpreted as a combination of 1-bit signals. For example, a
byte signal contains eight different, independent status bits. Each bit represents
one specific status information. For such signals, rather the individual bit signals
are relevant.
To see how you can extract individual bits from a signal and rename them, watch
our video Extracting Bits from a Signal.
To extract these from the complete signal block, proceed as follows:
1. In the Variable Explorer, select the signal from which the individual bits shall
be extracted.
2. In the context menu, select Generate Bit Signals.
3. Select one or more bits.
The number of checkboxes depends on the data type of the selected vari-
able.
4. Click Generate.
