bitshift~ Bitwise shift signal operator. Bitwise shift signal operator. Can perform bitwise operations on a floating point signal as bits or as an integer. Note that if you are converting the floats to ints and back that single precision floating point values only retain 24 bits of integer resolution. The floating point bits from left to right are <1 sign bit> <8 exponent bits> <23 mantissa bits>. positive shift values correspond to left shifting that number of bits, negative shift values correspond to right shifting that number of bits.
