Multi-Task Multi-State Button

The Multi-Task Multi-State button performs a set of predefined tasks whenever the button is
pressed. The tasks performed depend upon which ‘state’ the button is in when pressed. This
button is very similar in operation to the Multi-Task Single-State button described above except
that instead of a single state that performs a task(s), you have the option of creating multiple
states, each with a unique set of tasks. The button displays with text labels or a graphic image
to represent the states. Whenever the button is pressed, the object performs the programmed
tasks for that state. The HMC7000 continuously monitors a target tag address to determine
which state the button is in.
