Introduction
The configuration engineer uses infotext to provide additional information and operating
instructions with respect to screens and operable screen objects.
An infotext may contain information on the value to be set in an IO field, for example.
Enter temperature
setpoint for Tank_1
(Range 40 to 80 °C)

A help indicator can also been configured.

or the active screen, the help indicator is hidden.
