ABSTRACT:
A digital computer implemented software system is provided which translates a control program into a graphical flow chart and displays the same upon a visual display attached to the digital computer during execution of a control program. The graphical flow chart includes multiple flow paths of execution, each flow path having a respectively associated binary memory location. Each memory location has an initial value of zero, and the value of a particular memory location increases to one upon execution of the control program along the flow path associated with that particular memory location. When a memory location has a value of one, the flow path associated therewith is visually enhanced upon the visually displayed graphical flow chart. A user is provided with a function to reset each memory location value to zero at any time during execution of the control program.
