dataref usage

[MarkHargrove]

There are many, many datarefs that come in "pairs".  For example:

CL650/overhead/elec/batt_master

and 

CL650/overhead/elec/batt_master_value

Both seem to track the same state, though it seems that quite often one of the datarefs is a float while the other is an integer.

What is the difference between these very common "pairs"?    Is the xxx_value version the appropriate one to use to track state (for setting a button image on a StreamDeck, for example)?

The “xxx” are specifically for driving the animations. The “xxx_value” are the logical state, e.g. off/on/armed/pushed/etc.

That's exactly the information I was looking for (and pretty much what I suspected) -- thank you!
