//Concerning the STATUS of a profile value:

  //the lower 7 bits are used to represent a NUMBER for the STATUS sample, that

  //can mean different things for different meters.

  //the higher bits after that have generic meanings, and can be simultaneously

  //set to mean more than one thing at the same time.

  //status constants. These can be bitwise orred in.

  //INTEGER?4 bytes?-2147483648?+2147483647 (0x7FFFFFFF)

  //                  therefore the biggest bit usable is 0x40000000
