Hi Jonathan and others, With output/dac buffer support the semantics of the scan_element type may change. Today the Format is [be|le]:[s|u]bits/storagebitsXrepeat[>>shift]. While shift (if specified) is the shift that needs to be applied prior to masking out unused bits. So far so good and it sounds universal. However, we use the right shift (operator) for that, which makes sense for capture devices. For output devices the more logical operator would be the left shift. I'm not proposing a new Format here. I just want to get some agreement that for an output device le:s12/16>>4 is understood as a left shift of 4, since the unused bits are then on the LSB. Thoughts?
