Bit Entry
Bit Entry is used to set/clear a targeted bit/coil. Two predefined messages display according to
the current value read in the targeted bit/coil. Messages can be of varying length (maximum of
40 characters). When a bit entry is on a screen that is currently shown on the HMC7000, the
HMC continuously polls the target bit register to determine which message to display.
