DCWatDes.Bitcode.or performs a bytewise or operation on string numbers.

	string DCWatDes.Bitcode.or(string a, string b)

a byte-coded string

b byte-coded string

Returns: the result of the bytewise a or b as a string

The following AVENUE code can be used in the field calculator to perform of a bytewise or-operation on the fields a and b:

	av.run("DCWatDes.Bitcode.or", {[a], [b]})
	

DCWatDes.Bitcode.xor performs a bytewise xor operation on string numbers.

	string DCWatDes.Bitcode.xor(string a, string b)

a byte-coded string

b byte-coded string

Returns: the result of the bytewise a xor b as a string

The following AVENUE code can be used in the field calculator to perform of a bytewise or-operation on the fields a and b:

	av.run("DCWatDes.Bitcode.xor", {"111", "101"})
	

The result of the example above will be "111".

DCWatDes.Bitcode.and performs a bytewise and operation on string numbers

	  string DCWatDes.Bitcode.and(string a, string b)

a bit-coded string

b bit-coded string

Returns: the result of the bytewise a and b as a string

The following AVENUE code can be used in the field calculator to perform of a bytewise and-operation on the fields a and b:

	av.run("DCWatDes.Bitcode.and", {[a], [b]})
	

DCWatDes.Bitcode.isSetAsNumber returns whether the n-th byte of a string is set or not

	integer DCWatDes.Bitcode.isSetAsNumber(string a, integer n)

a byte-coded string

n number of the byte to check

Returns: an integer of value 1 in case the n-th byte is set, 0 otherwise

The following AVENUE query can be used to select all the records which have set the 4th bit in the example field (usable with the query tools of view and table GUI):

	  av.run("DCWatDes.Bitcode.isSetAsNumber",{"0001", 3}) 
	  = 1

The expression will return true

Note that the bit numbering starts at 0. "= 1" is used to convert the numbers 0 and 1 to the boolean values to true or false, respective.

	Tip
	Note that you can also use the middle() function to find out whether a byte is set: "0001".middle(3,1) = "1"

Creates the Localization dictionaries of the Extension

In order to add another Dictionary, you'll first have to create one:

	dicNew = Dictionary.make(100)

Then you can start adding dictionary entries:

	dicNew.add("English Term", "New translated term")

Look at the German dictionary for the terms that have to be translated. After you've added all the terms to the new Dictionary, you have to add the Dictionary to the Dictionary of Dictionaries:

	_dcwDicDictionaries.add("de", dicNew)

Where "de" is describes the locale (In this case "de" for Germany).

Updates the valves status field, reflecting the status at a given time.

All valves are closed before applying the controls.

Expects the timestep as a number as the argument (Hours since simulation start).

Returns nothing.

Requires valves theme and controls table registered with the extension.

Works only for SOV valves. The supported controls syntax is:

LINK link_id status AT TIME hours_since_simulation_start

Steps that should be followed in the release process.
