State machine diagrams

State machine diagrams are used to visually describe a system's behavior. The key components of these diagrams include states and transitions. The sample state machine provided in the following diagram is for a bank vault. The solid circle is the initial pseudo state and indicates entry into the system. There are four states—Wait, Unlock, Enable, and Vault. 

In our bank vault example, the vault is enabled when two bank managers place their thumb on a thumbprint scanner. The vault is unlocked, contingent on a successful thumbprint scan, by entering the correct combination. When these conditions are met, the Vault state is reached and the managers can enter it:
