Initial state events are events which do not represent a transition (eg: UP to DOWN) but instead reflect the current state of a channel. There are various sources of initial state events but they are typically found on the hour on sites which have an SA380 logger associated with them. They are shown in the events list in grey to distinguish them from normal transition events. When the list cursor moves over a state event it will not typically trigger any changes on the map if it is visible because the state event should match the current state of the channel.
