Configuring State Values in a Timed Force Multistate Object

In a Timed Force Multistate object, you configure one or more state values to define a text string associated with each of those values.

The state configuration of a Timed Force Multistate object allows specific multistate values to be associated with text strings. The result is that for a given state, the value displayed to the user is the text string associated with the particular numeric multistate value.

A Timed Force Multistate object allows up to 256 states to be created. Each of these states has a default text string value of "State [state value]", which can be edited to display an appropriate description of the state, such as "Unoccupied" or "Standby". The state text string can be constructed using any of the characters allowed in Building Operation.

For more information, see Configuring State Values in a Timed Force Multistate Object .
