+    Status class to monitor transitions of a signal value through a list of specified transitions.
+    The status is finished when all transitions have been observed in order. The keyword argument
+    `strict` determines whether the transitions must occur in strict order or not. The strict option
+    only becomes relevant once the first transition has been observed.
+    If `failure_states` is provided, the status will raise an exception if the signal value matches
+    any of the values in `failure_states`.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    signal: Signal
+        The device signal to monitor.
+    transitions: list
+        A list of values to transition through.
+    strict: bool, optional
+        Whether the transitions must occur in strict order. Defaults to True.
+    failure_states: list, optional
+        A list of values that will raise an exception if encountered. Defaults to None.
+    run: bool, optional
+        Whether to run the status callback on creation or not. Defaults to True.

+        The type of event to trigger on transition. Defaults to None (default sub).

+    settle_time: float, optional
+        The time to wait for the signal to settle before checking transitions. Defaults to 0.
+    Notes
+    -----
+    The 'strict' option does not raise if transitions are observed which are out of order.
+    It only determines whether a transition is accepted if it is observed from the
+    previous value in the list of transitions to the next value.
+    For example, with strict=True and transitions=[1, 2, 3], the sequence
+    0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 is accepted, but 0 -> 1 -> 3 -> 2 -> 3 is not and the status
+    will not complete. With strict=False, both sequences are accepted.
+    However, with strict=True, the sequence 0 -> 1 -> 3 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 is accepted.
+    To raise an exception if an out-of-order transition is observed, use the
+    `failure_states` keyword argument.
