numeric convert in bit vector and then put out the first 3 bits

[commander]

Hi i have a numeric value and i want to change it in a bit vector, so that i can put out some bits or include some bits,

How can i do this?

assuming your data is represented as an interger...

You can use the logical "And" or the "Or" gates to do a bit-wise and/or with a mask. With the And gate your mask would have the bits set you want pull out.

THe logical bits shift and Split byte/word (found on data manipulation palette) may be handy as well.

I hope that helps,

Ben
