HP 8590 E & L Series Spectrum Analyzers and HP 8591C Cable TV ...

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:
BIT Bit
� 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.
� The least significant bit is bit 0. The most significant bit is bit 63.
� 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.)
