<p>A method and a system (26) as shown in the figure, are provided for interactively developing a graphical, control-flow structure and associated application software for use in a machine vision system (20) utilising a computer system (28), without the need for a user to write any code. The structure includes a control sequence having a plurality of steps or nodes, transitions, and links or flow lines which interconnect the nodes and transactions. The hardware operating parameters define a set of standard controls having properties. Graphical representations or icons are selected which correspond to the desired second control programs and inputs and outputs of the nodes. The first control program is linked to the second control program to form the application software. The step of linking includes the step of setting property of one standard control to be equal to one property of another standard control to form the application software in response to the commands without the user writing any of the application software.</p> |
