As I know, Siemens doesn't provide demo versions of Step7, but some of their ServicePacks are in fact full installation versions (downloads having a lots of MB).
Newest versions of Step7 are capable of runnig in trial mode (without licence) for about 14 days.

This is all I have in Help (no detailled explanation):
STA Status Bit (Status Word, Bit 2)
The STA bit stores the value of an addressed bit.
The STA bit is bit 2 of the status word.
The status of a bit logic instruction that performs a read access to memory (A, AN, O, ON, X, or XN) is always the same as the value of the addressed bit. The status of a logic instruction that may perform a write access to the memory (R, S, or =) is the same as the value of the written bit or, if writing is not performed, the same as the value of the addressed bit. The status bit has no significance for bit instructions that do not access the memory. These instructions set STA to 1. The status bit is not read by instructions, it is interpreted for you when viewing the online status of program variables.
