Why not pictures for bits?

Would it be possible to display a graphic for On/Off of a bit?
We could make some small Check Engine, Oil, water, symbols.
Maybe invert color for status

Just a thought.

i've more or less done this by having the text background and text color change when the bit flips.

EDIT: I am the dumb, "graphic" didn't register.

I like the idea. Thanks.

I have some "flag registers" which I would like to show.
8 bits per flag, would be awesome to realize this somehow.
The flag can be 1000 0000 or 0001 0111 for example - would be very nice when I could use a value binary.
I would think easiest way would to allow to define a value as binary which I can then put into the bitmask.

Why not define a scalar for exactly this purpose?

I have a Ram_Cell, let's call it RAM_28.
RAM_28.0 - RAM_28.7 are my flags.
set RAM_28.0 means 0000 0001b = 1d
set RAM_28.7 means 1000 0000b = 128d
Both would lead to 1000 0001b = 129d
1000 0010b = 130d
1000 0011b = 131d

The evaluation of this dec number is not easy possible - or I didn't find the right "tool" in the Definition area. Lockup table would be the last option but wouldn't be a nice option...

I only could use a bit output and not a byte output but this would increase the datastream length.

I understand it now.
Using a scalar and then playing with the alarm function...

/edit:
Ok... Bitmask XOR 1 result 0/1 is what I was looking for...
