Allows access to a FloWorks object's statistics.

This property provides the following properties and methods:

input - returns the input tracked variable

output - returns the output tracked variable

content - returns the content tracked variable

state(Variant& profile = nullvar) - returns a state tracked variable. If no profile argument is given, or if it is 1, then the default FloWorks state profile is returned.
