Show network comment	The network comment is displayed in the upper left corner of the network. When the network title is also displayed in CODESYS, the comment is displayed in the line below.
Show box icon	The block symbol is displayed in the block element in the FBD and LD editor. The standard operators also have symbols.
Show operand comment	CODESYS displays the comment which you indicated for a variable in the implementation part. Different from the "symbol comment", the operand comment refers only to the local occurrence of the variable. The comment is automatically truncated, depending on available space. You can select the Fixed size for operand fields option to restrict the comment to a defined width.
Show symbol comment	The comment which you indicated for a variable or symbol in the declaration is displayed in CODESYS above the variable name. You can also assign a local "operand comment" in addition to or instead of the symbol comment.
Show symbol address	If an address is assigned to a symbol (variable), then this address is displayed above the variable name.
Show network separators	A separator is displayed between the individual networks.
