ABSTRACT:
A method and system for visually programming state information using a visual switch. The visual switch has at least one first input, a plurality of second inputs, and at least one output. The method includes the steps of displaying the visual switch on a display and visually connecting the output to a selected one of the second inputs in response to the first input. The method includes the computer-implemented steps of displaying the first and second inputs on a display, visually linking information to at least one of the second inputs, and visually linking a value to one of the first inputs to set the visual switch object, thereby selectively connecting the information from one of the second inputs to the output.
