Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks
Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraphs text to be
dynamically provided information about the current status of the level (multistate and traditional). These
codes are entered into the text field along with any other text.
The following is a code list used for bargraphs:
By changing the text on a button (via a VT command), you can modify the codes on a button. When one
of the Text Formatting Codes is encountered by the firmware, it is replaced with the correct value. These
values are derived from the following operations:
Given a current raw level value of 532, a range low value of 500, and a high range value of 600, the
following text formatting codes would yield the following strings as shown in the table below:
