<enumname="MAV_MODE_FLAG_DECODE_POSITION">
<description>These values encode the bit positions of the decode position. These values can be used to read the value of a flag bit by combining the base_mode variable with AND with the flag position value. The result will be either 0 or 1, depending on if the flag is set or not.</description>
