• The program is initially shown at what is called the Program level.
This level contains a flow chart of the program's main functions.
Each shape in the flowchart is either a function node or an
operation node. Most of the nodes are Linked together with
arrows, indicating the flow of the program.
• This sample program includes a Main Menu frame that branches
off into three tasks: collecting data, uploading data, and erasing
data. Each of the tasks also allows you to return to the
Main Menu .
• The shape labeled Pad Zeros in the bottom-left corner is a
Subroutine . It doesn’t Link directly to the other frames, but it is
jumped to from other parts of the program by Call nodes.

mouse button (or select the frame and choose Edit > Properties from
the menu). The Frame Properties dialog box will appear (refer to
