e.g. bw_NOT ('Expression')

bw_AND	Bitwise AND
bw_OR	Bitwise OR
bw_XOR	Bitwise exclusive OR
bw_NOT	Bitwise NOT

Description

These functions are used for the bitwise linking of two analog values based on Boolean algebra. The functions return a 32-bit integer. 32-bit integers are expected as arguments.

If the arguments are not integers, the decimal part will be dropped before the operation is executed. If the arguments are too big so that their absolute value does not fit in a 32-bit integer, the operation is executed only on the 32 low-order bits.

When linking two analog values with a bw function, the individual bits of both values are logically linked. The result then is an analog value of the same type with a bit pattern in accordance with the logical link.

Example

For 2 analog values V1 = 15 and V2 = 2, the results are as follows:

	Dec. value	Bits	Hex	Result value
Output value V1	15	…1111	0x0000000F
Output value V2	2	…0010	0x00000002
V1 bw_AND V2		…0010	0x00000002	2
V1 bw_OR V2		…1111	0x0000000F	15
V1 bw_XOR V2		…1101	0x0000000D	13
bw_NOT (V1)		…0000	0xFFFFFFF0	-16
