Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs

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 are entered into the
text field along with any other text.
The following is a code list used for bargraphs:

$P
$V
$L
$H
$S
$A
$R

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:

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:
