ABSTRACT:
A model of a finite state machine suited for implementation in a microcomputer includes logical specifications stored in memory which determine whether a change of outputs should be effected in response to predetermined combinations of input parameters and whether a change of state should be effected based on stored logical conditions of input parameters. Additional control of the flow of the steps of the finite state machine are under the control of the designer wherein a designer controlled variable permits a selection following a state transition as to whether or not an immediate test or input parameters will be made to determine whether additional actions are required or whether a return to a determination of state transition is to be made.
