!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [ASN.1] Simple Type which takes values that are an ordered sequence of zero or more [bits]. 

The bit sequence is either a binary or hexadecimal string delimited by single quotes followed by B or H, respectively. 

For [example], 11010001 B or 82DA6 H are valid values of [{$pagename}]. 

The length of the string of [bits] must be a multiple of four when [hexadecimal] is used. 

[{$pagename}] also has a form similar to [INTEGER] ([{$applicationname}] uses [Bitmask]), but the numbers in parentheses indicate location in the string of bits. For example, the type notation%%prettify 
{{{
Occupation  ::=  BIT STRING
{
    clerk      (0)
    editor     (1)
    artist     (2)
    publisher  (3)
}
}}}

names the first bit ``clerk", the second bit ``editor", and so on. Strings of bits can then be written by listing the named bits that are set to 1. For example, (editor, artist) and '0110'B are two representations for the same value of ``Occupation".
