Bit Twiddling??

[VS]

Gentlepersons,
I just can't seem to find any functions in Labview to do bit-mask
operations. Do I have to roll my own? I noticed there are HiQ functions
bitAND, bitOR, and bitShift, but I don't want to have to install HiQ just
for these. Thanks in advance for your most helpful advice!

Hi Vic

The Boolean functions do bit wise ORing and ANDing etc. on integers as well.
Also check out the 'Advanced\Data Manipulating' functions for rotating and
shifting etc.

You can connect numbers to the normal Boolean functions (And, Or, Not,
etc) in LabVIEW. They will then do their operations on a bit-by-bit basis.

You can also check the Advanced->Data Manipulation palette. There are
additional functions there for rotating and shifting bits, swapping
bytes & words, etc.
