The bit bar is a display element for displaying the values of a status byte (bit mask). A byte consists of 8 bits, all of which can have the status 0 or 1. In the status byte, each of these bits provides information about a specific status.
To visualise this, there is this element in which each bit can be labelled separately.
The bit strip supports values up to 8 bytes.
