A multistate record represents up to an 8 bit value indicating up to 256 discrete device input states/text associations and 8 output command states. Multistate records are located in the multistate table and are configured using the multistate Row Edit dialog box.
The multistate record is similar to a status record. The table below demonstrates the differences between the status and multistate records.
