The whole technology bases on the processing and handling of graphical operations which allow a series of “LIVE” handling maneouvers upon the entire system. By “LIVE” we mean that literally every needed system handling action may be done with full interactivity and without interrupting the system’s current execution state, i.e. every action is allowed with a LIVING system. For a better comparison, taking Medicine as an example, this technology allows for a surgeon to perform an open-heart surgery without having to put the pacient on a bypass or any other life-support equipment, nor having to do any other kind of adaptation or preparation. This illustrates well this revolutionary new concept that has already been 100% proven on an internal gasoline combustion engine, with all the technology’s components fully operating. Here are all the “LIVE” functionalities available in this world-wide innovative technology, with short video examples. The result is that, while in other systems the user has to perform lots of setup and preparation steps to get ready for the following tasks, including having to start separate tools, if thwhile in other systems the user has to perform lots of setup and preparation steps to get ready for the following tasks, including having to start separate tools, if these tasks are at all possible on those systems, here the user has everything at the tip of his fingers, thanks to a the main “Integrated Editor” that integrates everything into a single easy-to-use graphical software package:– LIVE-DRAGGING (graphical FDEFs’ editing)

• LIVE-CUSTOMIZATION (operation modifiers)– LIVE-COMPARING (graphical FDEF online comparison)

• LIVE-DEBUGGING (graphical FDEFs’ online inspecting)

• LIVE-MONITORING (graphical variables’ online viewing)

• LIVE-GENERATING (graphical values’ online forcing)

• LIVE-BREAKPOINTING (execution interruption)

• LIVE-STEPPING (execution steps)

• LIVE-PROFILING (execution timing)

• LIVE-SIMULATING (HW emulation)

• LIVE-CALIBRATING (graphical data online adjustment)

• LIVE-EDITING (“open-heart surgery”)

• LIVE-LOGGING (online/mixed datalogging)

• LIVE-TROUBLESHOOTING (tele-operation)

• LIVE-OVERVIEW (graphical system online feedback)

• LIVE-TURNAROUND (zero turnaround-time working method)

• LIVE-PERIPHERALS (smart sensors & actuators)

• LIVE-DISPLAYS (intelligent & active displays)

• LIVE-MODELING (SIL, HIL, MIL, systems’ modeling)

While in other systems the user has to place the graphical operations by hand and/or place them to see the resulting looks afterwards, this technology allows to the user to fully interactively add operations to the FDEFs, with immediate graphical feedback upon each user movement or action. Furthermore, the automatic placement ensures a much faster function editing.

While in other systems the user has to access multiple menus and tools to customize an FDEF, this technology allows to the user to fully customize it on the graphical interface itself. The available modifiers for the graphical operations and for the variables are:

• SECRET, makes an operation visible only with a special access code

• CUSTOMIZABLE, allows the customer to change those operations

• STRICT SEQUENCE, executes the operations in the defined sequence

• ATOMIC SEQUENCE, executes the operations without any interruptions

• BREAKPOINT, inserts breakpoints at those operations

• TEMPORARY, allows for operations that are easily eliminated at the end

• MAIN, marks the operations as belonging to the main signal path

• CORRECTION, marks the operations as belonging to signal corrections

• DIAGNOSIS, marks the operations as belonging to diagnosis block

• TEST, marks the operations as belonging to test blocks

• USER, marks the operations as belonging to user’s customizations

• COMMENTS, allows to add user-comments to the operations

• LABEL, allows to add user-defined labels to the variables

• DATALOG, marks the variables for automatic datalogging

• INITIALIZE, initializes the variables with pre-defined values

• ALARM, allows the user to set alarm threshold values for the variables

This technology allows an online direct graphical comparison between two FDEFs. While it’s virtually impossible to create graphical comparisons in other systems, this technology allows this quite simply and effectively. The user may even make changes to the current FDEF and immediately get the highlights of the differences to the reference FDEF on the right, with the added(green) and the missing(red) operations, in an completely online fashion.

This technology allows for a fully seamlessly integrated debugging environment directly accessible on the unique graphical interface, allowing for a “just-a-button-away” startup. This component is divided into Live-Monitoring, Live-Generating, Live-Breakpointing and also Live-Stepping, as detailed next. These features may also be simulated and handled upon without any hardware at all whatsoever.

This technology allows to immediately start monitoring values of operation nodes without even leaving the FDEF’s graphical interface, just by pushing a button and by immediately starting to request values to be feedbacked on any nodes. Besides this “on-spot” monitoring feature, a more standard “list-form” monitoring is also possible. Furthermore, this feature is fully non-instrusive in respect to the program’s execution. This feature may also be simulated and handled upon without any hardware.

This technology allows to immediately start fixating/generating values on operation nodes without even leaving the FDEF’s graphical interface, just by pushing a button and by immediately starting to fixate/generate values to be forced onto any nodes. Besides this “on-spot” fixation and generation feature, a more standard “list-form” fixation/generation is also possible. Furthermore, this feature is fully non-instrusive in respect to the program’s execution. This feature may also be simulated and handled upon without any hardware whatsoever.

This technology allows to immediately start breakpointing the program without even leaving the FDEF’s graphical interface, just by pushing a button and by immediately starting to interrupt the FDEFs at any point. Besides this “on-spot” breakpointing feature, a more standard “list-form” breakpointing is also possible. Conditional breakpoints may also easily be set, as well as alarms for variable values, all without ever leaving the graphical interface and without ever pausing/stopping the program. This feature may also be simulated and handled upon without any hardware.

This technology allows to immediately start hand-stepping the program without even leaving the FDEF’s graphical interface, just by pushing a button and by immediately starting to step, play, stop and interactively following the execution of the FDEFs at any point. This feature may also be simulated and handled without any hardware.
