Figure I-2. The Same “Random” Program in VEE
In VEE, the program is built with program elements called objects. Objects
are the building blocks of a VEE program. They perform various functions
such as I/O operations, analysis, and display. When you view the objects
with all of their connections, as shown in Figure I-2, this is called the
detail
view
. The detail view is analogous to source code in a textual language.
In VEE, data moves from one object to the next object in a consistent way:
data input on the left, data output on the right, and operational sequence pins
on the top and bottom.
The objects are connected together to form a program. Follow the program
from left to right. In the “Random” program shown in Figure I-2, a random
number is added to the
Collector - Create Array object ten times,
creating an array. Then the program finds the maximum value in the array,
and displays the
Max Value and the Array Values.
Using VEE, with its modular programming approach, you can reduce the
time it takes to create programs that control instruments, create customized
data displays, and develop operator interfaces. This method of test
development leads to productivity gains much greater than conventional
techniques.
