📝 Label Configuration

Automatic Generation:

prefixes = ["PH", "T", "H", "SL"];
num_bits = 8;
bit_labels = [
   for(prefix = prefixes) 
       [for(i = [0:num_bits-1]) str(prefix, i)]
];
prefixes = ["PH", "T", "H", "SL"];
num_bits = 8; bit_labels = [ for(prefix = prefixes) [for(i = [0:num_bits-1]) str(prefix, i)] ];

Manual Custom Labels:Manual Custom Labels:

bit_labels = [
    ["PH0", "PH1", "PH2", "PH3", "PZ1", "PZ2", "PZ3", "PZ4"],
    ["T10", "T15", "T20", "T25", "T27", "T30", "T40", "T45"],
    ["H2", "H2.5", "H3", "H4", "H5", "H6", "H8", "H10"],
    ["SL3", "SL4", "SL5", "SL6", "SQ1", "SQ2", "SQ3", ""]
];

Each row in the array corresponds to one row of bits. You can mix and match bit types, use custom names, or leave slots empty with "".
