"^" Button Commands

These Button Commands are used in NetLinx Studio and are case insensitive.

All commands that begin with "^" have the capability of assigning a variable text address range and
button state range. A device must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values
for the Device: Port : System
(in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values).



Variable text ranges allow you to target 1 or more variable text channels in a single
command.



Button State ranges allow you to target 1 or more states of a variable text button with a single

command.



"." Character is used for the 'through' notation, also the "&" character is used for the 'And'
notation.
