DWORD Data Type

A DWORD number in the RMC is a 32-bit string of bits. In RMCTools, DWORDS are displayed with a "16#" or "0x" prefix. For example, 16#1A0002Af.

Each bit in a DWORD data type is a boolean (BOOL data type) and can be individually addressed by adding "." and then the bit number.

Example: MyDWordVariable.12 is a boolean.

Bit Ordering

DWORDs are displayed in RMCTools with the highest byte first. For example, in 16#80000000, bit 31 is set. 16#00000001, bit 0 is set.
