Symbol	Object		Notes
	“Graphic	I/O	A graphic I/O field can be assigned the following functions in Runtime:
	field”		 Output of entries of a graphic list
			 Combined input and output; in this case, the user can select a graphic
			from the graphic list and thus change the content of the graphic I/O
			field.
			Example of its use as output field:
			To indicate the status of a valve in Runtime, the graphic I/O field outputs the
			image of a closed or open valve.
	"Symbolic	I/O	A symbolic I/O field can be assigned the following functions in Runtime:
	field"		 Output of text list entries
			 Combined input and output; in this case, the user can select a text from
			the text list and thus change the content of the symbolic I/O field.
			Example of its use as combined input and output field:
			To control a motor in Runtime, the user selects the "Motor OFF" or "Motor
			ON" text from the text list. The motor is started or stopped depending on the
			selection; the symbolic I/O field shows the respective state of the motor
			(motor OFF/Motor ON).
	"Graphic view"		The graphic view is used to show graphics created with third-party graphic
			programs in a screen. The follow graphic formats can be displayed: "*.emf",
			"*.wmt", "'.dib", "'.bmp", "*.jpg", "'.jpeg", "'.gif' and "*.tif“.
			You can use the graphic view to insert graphics of other graphic programs
			and OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) objects. OLE objects can be
			opened and edited directly from the properties window of the graphic view in
			the graphics program in which they were created.
	"Button"		The operator uses the button to control a process. Functions and scripts
			can be configured on the button.
	"Switch"		In Runtime, the switch is used to input and display two states, such as ON
			and OFF, or pressed and not pressed. The switch can be labeled with text
			or graphics to display the state of the switch in Runtime.
	"Bar"		A value from the controller is displayed in Runtime in the form of a bar in a
			scaled graph. You can use a bar to display changes in fill level, for example.
