BIT
Bit variables are displayed as a string of 0 and 1 characters.
*
Bit variables are displayed in the default format (BIT).
HEX
Bit variables are displayed in hexadecimal. This mode is especially useful for displaying long bit strings.

If the length of the bit string is not a multiple of 4 bits, the last hexadecimal character represents less than 4 bits. Since bit strings are left-aligned, the extraneous trailing bits are ignored if you overtype this nibble with a new value with 1 bits in any of these positions. A warning message is shown, and the new digit is displayed with the corrected hexadecimal value.

If the display format is not specified, a message shows the current display format for bit variables.
