The Properties button leads to the 'Module properties' dialog for the in- or output module currently
selected in the left or the right list. It shows the Name, the Config (module description coding
according to PROFIBUS standard) and the in- and output lengths of the module in bytes. If the
module description in the GSD file contains specific parameters in addition to the standard set, these
are listed here with their values and range of values. If the Symbolic names option is activated, the
symbolic names are then used.
