Design Tips:
1. Use the same device address for read and write to have the Multi-State Switch show the state of the device it is
changing.
2. Use the Multi-State switch to jog through text selections. For example, states 0-6 correspond to days of the week
(Sunday through Saturday). Assign the labels of states 0-6 to correspond to the days of the week. You may or may not
use a shape for this object. This Multi-State Switch allows the operator to select the day of the week. This is useful when
setting the internal real time clock.
