    The document discusses bit order and byte order in digital data. For bit order, the least significant bit (LSB) has the lowest value based on its position, while the most significant bit (MSB) has the highest value. Byte order refers to the arrangement of bytes in multi-byte data, with little endian ordering putting the LSB byte first and big endian ordering putting the MSB byte first. Proper identification of bit and byte order is important for representing numeric values stored digitally.

    LSB and MSB (Bit Order)

    Within groups (strings) of bits, we designate the order of the bits by identifying which bit has the
    highest value and which has the lowest value by its location in the bit string. The following is an
    example of this order.

    Because we are using 2 bytes of data, the LSB appears in the second byte.

    Little Endian and Big Endian (Byte Order)


    When you use multiple bytes (as required for the waveform data), you must identify their order. This is
    similar to identifying the order of bits by LSB and MSB. To identify byte order, use the terms little
    endian and big endian. These terms are used by designers of computer processors.
