6.7.7 Bit Pattern Editor

The Bit pattern editor, see Figure 69, enables the user to edit a numeric field by setting or not setting its bits. Can be used for any numeric field by setting the Simulation data option to BIT PATTERN in the Service Definition, see Section 5.3.6.2.3. The editor is a panel containing the bits, which are possible to edit, together with a text field for the unsigned decimal representation of the field value.

In the simulation panel, the editor is folded and is visible when expanded.

The components of the Bit pattern editor and the descriptions of them are presented in Table 51.

Table 51 Components in the Bit Pattern Editor
Components	Description
Text Field	Shows the current bit setup in unsigned decimal form. The field can also be edited, causing a direct update of the bit setup.
S-check box	This check box gives an option of how the bit panel should be arranged. The alternatives are Normal and Scientific mode. In Normal mode, when the check box is cleared, the bits are shown starting with the first bit and ending with the last. This is the default choice. In Scientific mode, when the check box is checked, the bits are shown in reversed order, for example, starting with the last bit and ending with the first.
Bit setup panel	Shows all bits that are possible to edit. When a bit is edited, the new value is calculated and shown in the text field in unsigned decimal form.
Select all	When pressed, all bits are set.
Deselect all	When pressed, all bits are cleared.
