In the scripts AUTOSTART or AUTOSTART_CLIENT the start details (e.g. open headings and status lines, reset alarm outputs etc.) are configured. The start picture must not be executed in the AUTOSTART script because it is defined via the project property Start picture. To open a subpicture which always belongs to a main picture (picture-specific menu lines etc.) a picture script (e.g. B_Picturename) is to be defined (Picture creation). This ensures that on selection of the picture via the Picture switch function, selection from the screen catalog or the Return to last picture function, all detail pictures are always opened with it.

In the scripts AUTOEND or AUTOEND_CLIENT the defined termination functions are configured (reset PIO-8 output process variables etc.). Cyclical archives must not be given in the AUTOEND script.
