Interactive procedure for producing software source code modelling a complex set of functional modules

Abstract

Abstract This procedure consists in employing, in a computer linked to visual display means, graphics formatting software (6), stored in the computer memory, producing graphics diagrams describing the complex logic circuits of the module on the basis of a library (10) of graphics symbols, software (9) for producing a pre-coding file (11) for the symbols, software (12) for monitoring coherence between the symbols of each diagram, software (15) for monitoring coherence of the time chaining of the order and of the execution conditions of the diagrams; the procedure also consists in storing in the memory a dictionary (17) for monitoring the updating of the diagrams. Finally, the software source code is produced by software (18) processing the contents of the pre-coding file and of the contents of the dictionary. <IMAGE>
