Button Commands

These Button Commands are used in NetLinx Studio and are case insensitive. All commands that begin with "^" have the capability
of assigning a variable text address range and button state range. A device must f irst be def ined in the NetLinx programming
language with values for the Device: Port: System (in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values).
Variable text ranges allow you to target 1 or more variable text channels in a single command.

Button State ranges allow you to target 1 or more states of a variable text button with a single command.

"." Character is used for the 'through' notation, also the "&" character is used for the 'And' notation.

Button Query Commands

Button Query commands reply back with a custom event. There will be one custom event for each button/state combination. Each
query is assigned a unique custom event type.
The following example is for debug purposes only:
