In this case since your driver knows what bits should not be modified it may be clearer to just use mask=0xffff so SHFT=0. Then the B0, B1, etc. in the mbboDirect record map directly to the bits in the register. Your driver just needs to not actually modify the reserved bits.

Hi Mark,
thanks for your answer.
I was using this mask, because all 0-bits are marked as "reserved" in
the manual of our
motor driver. So I wanted to make sure they are not written...
Good to know how the shift is calculated...I should check my other
mbbo/mbbi records as well.
