Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks

Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraph's text to be
dynamically provided information about the current status of the level (multi-state 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:

$V

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:
