Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks

Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraphs text to be provided
dynamically generated 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:
Bargraph Text Code Inputs
Code Bargraph
$P Display the current percentage of the bargraph
(derived from the Adjusted Level Value as it falls
between the Range Values)
$V Raw Level Value
$L Range Low Value
$H Range High Value
$S N/A
$A Adjusted Level Value (Range Low Value subtracted
from the Raw Level Value)
$R Low Range subtracted from the High Range
$$ Dollar sign
The codes on a button may be modified by changing the text on a button via a VT command. 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 Operation
$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:
Example

$P%
$A out of $R
$A of 0 - $R
$V of $L - $H
