If an IODD appropriate to the IO-Link device connected to the currently selected port has 
been  uploaded  (see  "Dialog  "IODD"),  the  normal  dialog  for  "Process  Data"  and 
"Parameters" is not displayed, but rather an expanded dialog.  
Information from the IODD of the device is used so that the data can be better understood. 
 
Thus  in  the  following  screenshot  not  only  are  the  input  data  of  the  distance  sensor 
displayed as a hex number, but also interpreted and labeled under "Input".  
Since the sensor has no parameters, none are displayed.
