In the Ignition\_Training\_Session\_3 minute 56:02 there is a visualization of the bit 0 of an integer. I have tried to do the same procedure but it doesn’t work. Please, I need your help to continue with my training. You will find an image attached.

That’s a bit of an outdated video there - that method isn’t the way to go about it now.

On drivers that support bit-level addressing (so, not on the simulators…) you can append a ‘.bit’ to the item path. So, for example your item path might be: ‘[LogixDevice]SomeStruct.MyWord’ and you would get to bit 0 by addressing ‘[LogixDevice]SomeStruct.MyWord.0’
