an instrument. For more information, see "To add a measure file" on page 29.
You can perform the following actions:

1. In the Variable Explorer, select the signal from which the indi-
vidual bits shall be extracted.
2. In the context menu, select Generate Bit Signals.
3. Select one or more bits.
The number of checkboxes depends on the data type of the selec-
ted variable.
4. Click Generate.
For each selected bit, a calculated Boolean signal is created. The
name of the calculated signals consists of the original signal
name and the bit number. The calculated signals are available in
the Variable Explorer and in the calculated signals editor. You can
use these signals in instruments and other calculated signals. For
more information, see "Assigning Signals to Instruments" below
and "Defining Calculated Signals" on page 58.
To remove extracted bit signals, see "To delete a calculated sig-
nal" on page 61.
