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:
Bargraph Text Code Inputs
Code Bargraph Multi-State Bargraph
$P Display the current percentage of the
bargraph (derived from the Adjusted
Level Value as it falls between the
Range Values)
Display the current percentage of the
bargraph (derived from the Adjusted
Level Value as it falls between the
Range Values)
$V Raw Level Value Raw Level Value
$L Range Low Value Range Low Value
$H Range High Value Range High Value
$S N/A Current State
$A Adjusted Level Value (Range Low Value
subtracted from the Raw Level Value) Adjusted Level Value (Range Low Value
subtracted from the Raw Level Value)
$R Low Range subtracted from the High
Range Low Range subtracted from the High
Range
$$ Dolla r sign Dollar sign
Formatting Code Operations

$P (Current Value - Range Low Value / Range High Value - Range Low Value) x 100
$V Current Level Value
$L Range Low Value
$H Range High Value
$S Current State (if regular bargraph then resolves to nothing)
$A Current Value - Range Low Value
$R Range High Value - Range Low Value

$P% 32%
$A out of $R 32 out of 100
$A of 0 - $R 32 of 0 - 100
$V of $L - $H 532 of 500 - 600
