Block diagram editor system and method for controlling electronic instruments

摘要: A block diagram editor system and method is implemented in a computer workstation that includes Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) mouse, graphics windowing software, an external communications interface for test instruments. The programmed constructing, interconnecting displaying diagrams of functional elements on the CRT. From prestored routines each element, software assembles executes program emulates operations element transfers data from output turn to input succeeding block, as determined by configuration. functions include signal generating analysis functions, control various types instruments, which can be interactively controlled through CRT mouse. converts desired outputs instruments into settings receives, analyzes displays Blocks also grouped macroblocks.
