of switches and trigger programming, and levels will reflect their default

settings, whether digital or analog.

In addition to reflecting the state of the system, the run/simulate feature

also allows the user to manipulate elements of the system to test logic

changes. Switches can be pressed, selectors actuated, doors opened

and closed, and levels changed. With each user change, the system will

evaluate logic changes and reflect those changes to the layout graphically.

It is also possible to evaluate the processing elements in play at any
