Resize a Bit Lamp object
Move the mouse pointer over one of the resize handles. When the pointer changes to a double-
headed arrow, simply click and drag to a new location.
Bit Display
Bit Display indicates the current state of a bit register using two predefined messages (i.e.
ON/OFF). The current value read in the targeted bit/coil message determines what message
displays. Messages can be of varying length (maximum of 40 characters). When a bit data
display is on an HMC screen, the HMC continuously polls the target bit register to determine
which message to display.

a. Click Draw…Display Objects…Data Display…Bit Data from the standard menu

screen.
