State Context

State Context

A State Context allows specification of the continuing state of a software or hardware entity.

The State Edit screen allows configuration of the state and its parameters.

State Name

The name of the state is given at the top of the screen. Clicking on it allows changing to another state type.

Next to the name is a button to show help for the displayed state type and its parameters. Be sure to check the help text if you have trouble with a particular state.

State Parameters

General Parameters

All states have parameters to specify more details about the state.

Text parameters are treated as pattern matches.

Invert Parameter

All states have an invert parameter, which specifies that the context should become active when it would usually be inactive, and vice-versa.
