Hello Gentlemen.
I just read this and it seems a nice way to do it Gambit, however, I've used GX developer for years and often find using an open contact (F5) and something like D12.0 D12.1 D12.2 d12.3 etc is an easy way to get the binary information out of a data register, but........ I just tried it to confirm the smallest and largest bits in Works2 and it didn't work! Seems fine in Works3 and GX developer though. Hopefully I've attached a working picture with a value of 207 in D1 chopped up as binary in the next rung.
Hope that helps
Neil
