BIT.Get - check if Bit is set

MiniRobotLanguage (MRL)

 

BIT.Get - check if Bit is set

Check if bit is set

 

 

Intention

 

Check if a specified Bit is set or cleared.

 

The parameters P1 and P2 can be given as value or as "binary".

The result is always "0" or "1" as a value. Please see ! Smart Package Robot 's BIT. - Operations

 

These two example below will check if Bit Nr.1 is set in the binary number "9" which is "1001".

Therefore the result will be a "1" in both Samples.

 

' Using a binary Number as Input

CHR.9|$$P01

VAN.$$P02=1

BIT.Get|b$$P01|$$P02|$$RES

MBX.$$RES

 

' Using a vale/numeric Number as Input

VAN.$$P01=9

VAN.$$P02=1

BIT.Get|$$P01|$$P02|$$RES

MBX.$$RES

 

 

 

Syntax

 

BIT.Get|[b/v]P1|[b/v]P2|P3[|P4]

 

 

 

Parameter Explanation

 

P1 - Variable containing a value or binary number. For example take the Number "9". It can be an ASC-Code "9" or the numeric number "9".

    You can define this with a prefix of "v" for value and "b" for "binary". If the prefix is omitted, "v" is the default setting for P1.

 

P2 - Variable containing a value or binary number for the bit to get. Depending on P4 this number can be 1 to 8, 1 to 16 or 1 to 32. Unless "b" is prefixed the default type for P2 is "value".

 

P3 - Variable for result or "-". The result will always be numeric/value and can only be 1 or 0.

   If omitted the result is placed on the TOS. Also here you can specify [b/v] for the format of the result. If you do not specify anything the result is "value"-Format.

 

P4 - optional, can be 1,2 or 4. Number of Bytes that are used internally. The number of Bits is the number of Bytes times 8.

    1 - 8 Bits

    2 - 16 Bits

    4 - 32 Bits

   

    Do not use the "8" Option. See Limitations below.

 

 

Example

 

'*****************************************************

' EXAMPLE 1:

'*****************************************************

VAN.$$P01=9

VAN.$$P02=4

VAN.$$SOL=1

BIT.Get|v$$P01|$$P02|$$ERG

MBX.$$ERG

END.

 

 

 

Remarks

-

 

 

Limitations:

 When using the "|8" Parameter, the lower 4 bits are possibly wrong. This is not a bug its due to the way variables are stored internally.

 Therefore we recommend to not use this option.
