StateMachine Table
A StateMachine table is one of two variants of a StateMachine (the other is the StateMachine diagram). It displays the information of the StateMachine in table form, and is a method of specifying the discrete behavior of a finite state-transition system; that is, what state the StateMachine moves to and the conditions under which the transition takes place.
