- Standard Symbols (STD_Symbols)
  Symbol library consisting of graphics objects for the quick display and design of system diagrams.
- Expandability of GEDI
- Simple Symbols, basics
  The "Simple Symbols" functionality is used to simply assign corresponding symbols to datapoint types and increase the working comfort when working with different symbols.
- Layout management
  Layouts change the size and position of objects according to parameters previously defined in the GEDI.
- Object-Oriented Panel References
  Reusable objects built with the GEDI tools. Insert them within an existing panel to provide a graphical element.
- Input Recording
- Encryption

Bit_Condition, Filter, Gastorch

These three symbols are all represented by the datapoint type BIT_CONDITION. They allow you to display the operational state (On/Off) or a fault:

Equipment operational panel Bit_Condition

In this panel you can display the operational state (On/Off) or a fault:

Figure 1. Control panel

Information panel Bit_Condition

The information panel contains details on the associated datapoint elements. Please see the chapter datapoint types for the symbol catalog (see BIT_CONDITION) in the PARA module for a description of the datapoint types and their elements.

Figure 2. Information panel

The table contains all datapoint elements either with their name or description, their values (contents), status (bits) and source time. The "..." buttons open detailed information on the event or alert (see alert table).

Simulation panel Bit_Condition

Right-click on the symbol or select the Simulation menu to open the following panel for simulating a peripheral device. This panel can be used to set datapoint elements by hand: in this panel you can simulate the operational state (On/Off) or a fault (see Simulating operational states). You can find the associated operational state for the following panel in Equipment operational panel.
