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 would be entered into the text field along with any other text.

The following is a code list used for bargraphs:

Buy 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:

Formatting Code Operations

Code

$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

 

 

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:
