Description

The present invention relates to a control system and a computer program , and more particularly to a control system and a computer program for inspecting a product using a computer .

In order to achieve a certain desired test using a computer such as a PC, software for it was required. For example, to inspect a radio device, DVM (digital volt m
eter) and peripheral devices such as audio analyzers to control AC voltage, and peripheral devices such as SG (signal generator) to control limiter sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (signal) for each frequency. Software for inspecting a radio device having a function for measuring a noise-to-noise ratio), etc., and inspecting a CD playback device requires software for inspecting the CD playback device, In order to inspect the navigation device, software for inspecting the navigation device is required.

Since software construction requires software programming, a person who does not have programming knowledge cannot be involved in software construction. Also,
Even if they are the same radio device or CD playback device, if the device type is different, inspection software suitable for that type is required, and in such a case, programming is required to construct the software. Met.

However, even if the type of apparatus is different, there is not much difference in inspection items. For example, AC voltage measurement and limiter sensitivity measurement are usually included in radio device inspection items regardless of the device type. For AC voltage measurement, not only radio equipment,
It is also usually included in inspection items of CD playback devices and navigation devices. In other words, the software for inspection of any of a radio device, a CD playback device, and a navigation device can be used for D
A function for controlling a peripheral device such as a VM or an audio analyzer to measure an AC voltage is included.

Therefore, if you can reuse these functions (that is, modify a part of the program)
Unnecessary programming can be omitted and software development efficiency can be improved. However, since a program is often created freely by the creator, it is not easy to use it by another person. In addition, knowledge of programming was still necessary to perform this kind of use. Therefore, even if it was a function to check similar items, it was never easy to reuse it for another software.

Therefore, recently, in order to solve such a problem, modularization of software has been performed (for example, see Patent Document 1). If the software is modularized, the program can be used more easily. However, software development efficiency cannot be increased by simply modularizing software. For example, even if the peripheral device to be controlled is changed, it is necessary to change the program, and this operation has never been easy. In addition, knowledge of programming was also necessary to make such program changes.

Means for solving the problems and their effects

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can improve the efficiency of software development, and even a person who does not have programming knowledge can construct software that achieves a desired purpose. It is an object to provide a control system and a computer program that can be used.

Control system according to the present invention in order to achieve the above object (1), in the control system having a function of executing a program for performing such inspection of the product, check for realizing the inspection of each of a plurality of different functions Module storage means for storing a module corresponding to the type of the peripheral device for use, function storage means for storing a function called from the module, and module management for managing the module stored in the module storage means with an identification code Module identification information storing means for storing the identification codes of the modules selected by the user in the order to be executed based on the module selection information obtained by the user and the module selection information obtained by the user. And an identification mark of the module stored in the module identification information storage means And module execution means for executing the modules selected by the user in a predetermined order, and each module stored in the module storage means has an independent configuration, It is characterized in that a desired function is called by parameterizing and setting these parameters.

According to the control system (1), the modules stored in the module storage means (for example, a module for measuring AC voltage and a module for measuring limiter sensitivity) have independent configurations. So you can combine them freely. Therefore, software for inspecting a product (for example, a radio device) can be constructed by freely combining the modules stored in the module storage means.

By the way, the inspection items of the radio device include, for example, items for measuring AC voltage and items for measuring limiter sensitivity. To measure AC voltage, DVM or audio
It is necessary to control peripheral devices such as analyzers. As a matter of course, if the peripheral device to be controlled is different, the software is different. Therefore, when the peripheral device to be controlled is a DVM, software for DVM must be used. When the peripheral device to be controlled is an audio analyzer, software for the audio analyzer is used. Must be used. Moreover, even if the peripheral device to be controlled is a DVM, even if the manufacturing company is different or the manufacturing company is the same, if the type is different,
Different software is used.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a module for measuring AC voltage. If the peripheral device to be controlled for radio device inspection is a DVM of company A, module M _R1 is used, and if the peripheral device to be controlled is a DVM of company B, module M _R2 is used for control. It is shown that the module M _R3 is used when the target peripheral device is an audio analyzer. That is, it is shown that modules M _R1 , M _R2 , M _R3 ,... _Are used as modules for measuring the AC voltage of the radio device.

Similarly, a module _{Mc1 is used} as a module for measuring the AC voltage of the CD player.
, M _C2 , M _C3 ,... _Are used, and modules M _N1 , M _N2 , M _N3 ,... _Are used as modules for measuring the AC voltage of the navigation device. Yes. Thus, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of modules for measuring the AC voltage alone.

In order to measure the AC voltage, not only the peripheral device to be controlled but also the measurement start waiting time, the measurement channel, the presence / absence of a filter, and the unit (V or dB) as shown in FIG.
There are many other items to set, such as the choice of. As a matter of course, as in the case where the peripheral devices to be controlled are different, if the setting such as the measurement start waiting time is different, the AC
The software for measuring the voltage is also different. Of course, setting the measurement start waiting time is a simple operation such as changing the numerical value in the program. However, the person who created the program cannot easily find the location where the numerical value is to be changed.

Therefore, even if software is modularized, for example, when building software for inspecting a radio device, the person who builds the software grasps the peripheral device to be controlled, and It is necessary to select a module for measuring the corresponding AC voltage, and further, it is necessary to find a place where the numerical value should be changed from within the module and change the numerical value. Such an operation is required not only for the measurement of AC voltage but also for many inspection items such as measurement of limiter sensitivity. In this way, it is not easy to construct software for performing radio device inspection or the like simply by modularizing software.

However, according to the control system (1), the function stored in the function storage means is called from the module stored in the module storage means. Such a part (for example, a processing function corresponding to each control target) can be provided not in the module but in a function called from the module.

As a result, a module that achieves the inspection items necessary for the inspection of the radio device, such as a module for simply measuring the AC voltage or a module for measuring the limiter sensitivity, without worrying about peripheral devices to be controlled. Simply select and you will be able to build software to test your radio device. Therefore, even a person who does not have programming knowledge can construct software that achieves a desired purpose such as inspection of a radio device, and can greatly improve software development efficiency.

Further , according to the control system ( 1 ), the module stored in the module storage means is parameterized, and a desired function is called by setting these parameters . By simply setting parameters, the desired function can be called . As a result, it is possible to construct software that achieves a desired purpose, such as inspection of a radio device, simply by performing simple operations such as module selection and parameter setting. Therefore, even if it is a person who does not have the knowledge of programming, the software which achieves the said desired objective can be constructed | assembled easily.

Also, numerical values such as measurement start waiting time, filter ON / OFF setting, unit (V / d
For the selection of B) and the like, a module that can be used for general purposes can be realized by parameterizing. That is, even if the numerical values are different, the same module can be used. For example, when changing the measurement start waiting time from 500 msec to 1000 msec, it is only necessary to change the numerical value to be included in the corresponding parameter. Become.

Further , according to the control system ( 1 ), the module (for example, a program configured by a function) stored in the module storage means is managed by an identification code (for example, a numerical value). Management becomes very easy and the load on the system can be reduced. Further, since the module stored in the module storage means is also called and executed based on the identification code, the module calling process can be performed very easily.

The control system ( 2 ) according to the present invention is characterized in that, in the control system (1) , another function is called from a certain function.

According to the control system ( 2 ), another function is called from a function (for example, a function) called from a module, or another function is called from another function called from the function. Thus, for example, a program for realizing a certain purpose such as measurement of an AC voltage can be composed of one or a plurality of functions with a module as a root.

As a result, a program for realizing a certain purpose can be divided and created. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the module M1 (get_ac) has only the main part for measuring the AC voltage, and the parameter is set (setting of the control device to be used). Then, the function F1 (get_ac_dvm) having the function of controlling the DVM or the function F2 (get_ac_aa) having the function of controlling the audio analyzer is called.

In addition, by setting another parameter (setting the model number of the control device to be used)
From the function F1, a function F3 (get_ac_3478) having a function of controlling a DVM having a model number “3478” or a function F4 (get_ac_6551) having a function of controlling a DVM having a model number “6551” is called. Function F2
Thus, the function F5 (get_ac_7723) having a function of controlling the audio analyzer whose model number is “7723” is called.

Furthermore, from functions F3 to F5, GP-IB (general purpose interface bu
s), the function F6 (get_gpib_dat) having a function of controlling the DVM and the audio analyzer is called, and the data on the AC voltage is acquired by the processing of the function F6.

Further, the control system ( 3 ) according to the present invention is a group management that manages all or part of the modules extracted by the module extracting means in the control system (1) or (2) as one group. And a group managed by the group management unit can be handled as a module stored in the module storage unit.

According to the control system ( 3 ), all or a part of the modules extracted by the module extracting means can be treated as a module stored in the module storing means as one group. A plurality of modules essential for the inspection of the apparatus (for example, a plurality of modules such as a module for measuring AC voltage and a module for measuring limiter sensitivity) can be virtually set as one module. .

In other words, by making inspection items such as AC voltage measurement and limiter sensitivity measurement, which are indispensable for radio device inspection, into one inspection item, each inspection item had to be selected so far. Therefore, it becomes possible to select one inspection item, and software can be constructed more efficiently.

Further, the control system ( 4 ) according to the present invention is the module stored in the module storage means and / or the function storage means in any one of the control systems (1) to ( 3 ). Each function is configured to be managed by a library.

According to the control system ( 4 ), the module stored in the module storage unit and / or the function stored in the function storage unit can be easily used. Therefore, an efficient call or the like is possible.

In the control system ( 5 ) according to the present invention, in the control system ( 4 ), the library is a DLL (dynamic link library), and the modules and / or functions managed by the library are dynamically It is characterized by being configured to be loaded.

According to the control system ( 5 ), the library is a DLL, and the modules and / or functions managed by the library are configured to be dynamically loaded. In other words, modules and functions are called only when necessary, so the processing load can be reduced.

The control system ( 6 ) according to the present invention is characterized in that in any one of the control systems (1) to (5), an explanatory text of the parameter is incorporated using a comment function.

The functions that make up modules and functions can be freely created by the creator. Therefore, the number and format of parameters can be determined freely. However, if the creator can freely decide, it is not easy for a person other than the creator to understand the parameter function. According to the control system (9), the explanation of the parameter is incorporated using the comment function, so that a person other than the creator can easily understand the parameter function.

The control system ( 7 ) according to the present invention includes an execution result determination unit that determines whether or not the execution of the module has been normally completed in any of the control systems (1) to ( 6 ), When the module execution unit determines that the execution of the module has not been completed normally by the execution result determination unit, the module to be executed next when the execution has not been completed normally. It is characterized by executing.

According to the control system ( 7 ), when the module execution cannot be completed normally, the module execution is not continued in the normal order, but another module is executed. Therefore, a recovery function can be realized.

In the control system ( 8 ) according to the present invention, in the control system ( 7 ), the execution specified by each module obtained from the operation means that can be operated by the user cannot be completed normally. Includes execution destination information storage means for storing execution destination information indicating a module to be executed next, and the module execution means determines that the execution of the module has not been completed normally by the execution result determination means. The module to be executed next is executed based on the execution destination information stored in the execution destination information storage means.

According to the control system ( 8 ), the user can designate the module to be executed next when the execution of the module cannot be completed normally. Accordingly, the recovery function is added by the user.

Further, the control system ( 9 ) according to the present invention includes a normal end determination means for determining whether or not the execution of the module is normally ended in any one of the control systems (1) to ( 8 ), and the normal end And a re-execution unit configured to re-execute the module up to a predetermined number of times when the end determination unit determines that the execution of the module has not ended normally.

According to the control system ( 9 ), when the execution of the module is not normally finished, the re-execution is performed up to the predetermined number of times. That is, a retry function can be realized. Further, since the re-execution is performed up to the predetermined number of times, even if the predetermined number of times is executed, if the normal execution is not completed, the execution of the module could not be completed normally.

Embodiments of a control system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a block diagram schematically showing the main part of the control system according to the embodiment (1). In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a system control unit including a CPU 2, a ROM 3, a RAM 4, and the like.

Yes.

The storage device 15 stores modules (functions) each having an independent configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the modules are grouped and managed by a library. ing. For example, the group “basic operation” including timing function M _CO1 , AC voltage measurement function M _CO2 , message display function M _CO3, etc. is managed by library “Com.DLL”, parameter reset function M _RA1 , limiter sensitivity measurement function The group “Radio Test” including M _RA2 , practical sensitivity measurement function M _RA3 , search sensitivity measurement function M _RA4, etc. is managed by the library “Radio.DLL”. The group “cassette inspection” including the functions M _TA1 and M _TA2 is managed by the library “Tape.DLL”, and the group “optical disk inspection” including the functions M _CD1 and function _CD2 is stored in the library “Disk.DLL”. Is managed.

Each module is given a unique identification code, and the module can be managed by the identification code in this control system. FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show an example of a program that realizes management with an identification code of each module. Here, the identification code “10000” is assigned to the timing function M _CO1 , the identification code “10001” is assigned to the AC voltage measurement function M _CO2, and the identification code “10002” is assigned to the message display function M _CO3. If the code “10000” is designated, the timing function M _CO1 can be called. Further, the identification code “20000” is assigned to the parameter reset function M _RA1 , the identification code “20001” is assigned to the limiter sensitivity measurement function M _RA2 , and the identification code “20002” is assigned to the practical sensitivity measurement function M _RA3. If the identification code “20000” is designated, the parameter reset function M _RA1 can be called.

The storage device 16 stores functions called from modules (or functions). For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the functions are grouped and managed by a library. ing. For example, using DVM A
The group “Device Control Unit” including the function F1 “get_ac_dvm” for measuring the C voltage and the function F2 “get_ac_aa” for measuring the AC voltage using an audio analyzer is managed by the library “DevMaster.DLL”. Has been.

Further, a function F3 “get_ac_3478” for measuring the AC voltage using the DVM (model number 3478) is used.
"Or function F4" get_ac_6551 "for measuring AC voltage using DVM (model number 6551)
Etc. The group “DVM group” including the above is managed by the library “DevDvm.DLL”.

Function F6 “get_gp” for controlling DVM and audio analyzer via P-IB
The group “GP-IB control” including “ib_dat” and the like is managed by the library “FT_GPIB.DLL”.

As will be described in detail later, the storage device 17 is information for identifying the module selected by the user based on the module selection information obtained from the input device such as the keyboard 11 or the mouse 12 (here. In FIG. 9, for example, information for identifying modules is stored in the order to be executed, as shown in FIG. Here, the information for identifying the module is “2000
1 ”,“ 10000 ”,“ 10000 ”,“ 10000 ”,“ 10000 ”,“ 10001 ”,... Are stored in this order, and when a software constructed from modules arranged in this way is executed, The sensitivity measurement function is executed, then the timing function is executed four times, and the AC voltage measurement function is executed (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

Note that an operation for the user to select a module is performed on the screen of the display 13, and FIG. 10 shows software for selecting a module and achieving a desired purpose. An example of the data editing screen is shown. Figure D1 shows the data edit screen, the data editing screen D1 includes an area E ₁₁ for displaying the group names of modules stored in the storage device 15, and is displayed in the area E ₁₁ Yes an area E ₁₂ for displaying a name of the belonging module to the group, the module selected by the user (i.e., execution module) and area E ₁₃ for displaying a list, a button switch B ₁₁ .about.B ₁₆ is doing.

As shown in FIG. 11, any group is selected by the user in a state where a menu Me displaying a plurality of group names (for example, “basic operation”) appears below the area E _11. As shown in FIG. 12, the name of the selected group (here, “basic operation”) is displayed in the area E _11, and the names of modules belonging to the group are displayed in the area E _12. ing.

The screen state as shown in FIG. 12, by the input device such as a keyboard 11 and a mouse 12 is operated, the selected one of the modules by a user, and when the button switch B ₁₁ is depressed, the system Based on the identification code of the module selected by the control unit 1 (here, “AC voltage measurement”), the module is added to the execution module, stored in the storage device 17 (see FIG. 9), and As shown in FIG. ₁₃ , the name of the added module is displayed in the area E13.

In the control system according to another embodiment, all or some of the modules selected as execution modules are managed as one group, and a group of a plurality of modules is stored in the storage device 15. It may be possible to handle it as a stored module. Thus, for example, a plurality of modules essential for radio device inspection (for example, a plurality of modules such as a module for measuring AC voltage and a module for measuring limiter sensitivity) can be virtually combined into one. It can be a module.

Each module is parameterized. For example, by setting a parameter, a desired function is called, a numerical value such as a measurement start waiting time, a filter ON / OFF setting, and a unit (V / DB) can be freely selected by the user. FIG. 14 shows an example of a parameter input screen for the user to set numerical values such as a measurement start waiting time.

In the figure, D2 indicates a parameter input screen. The parameter input screen D2 includes an area E ₂₁ (here, “10001”) for displaying an identification code (Code Number) of the module.
), An area E ₂₂ for setting a label name (Label Name), an area E ₂₃ for displaying the name of the module (here, “AC voltage measurement”), and obtained when the module is executed. An area E ₂₄ (here “2.1”) for setting the upper limit value UP of the value and the lower limit value LO
An area E ₂₅ (in this case, “1.9”) for setting W, an area E ₂₆ for setting a module to be executed next when the module can be normally terminated, and the module Areas E ₂₇ and E ₂₈ for setting a module to be executed next when it cannot be completed, an area E ₂₉ for setting a module retry number RN, an instrument to be controlled, And an area E ₃₀ for designating a measurement waiting time.

As described above, on the parameter input screen shown in FIG. 14, when the module label name, the upper limit value UP of the value obtained when the module is executed, the lower limit value LOW, and the module can be normally terminated, It is possible to set a module to be executed next and a module to be executed next when the module cannot be normally terminated. Also, the module retry count RN can be set, and if the retry is not completed normally even if the retry is performed, it can be determined that the module could not be completed normally. Note that the absolute number A can be used to specify the module to be executed next.
n (FIGS. 11 to 13 number shown in the area E _13, i.e. numbers indicate the order of execution)
In a method of specifying, and a method to specify a relative number Rn method specified by (skip number of modules or the number of back module) and label Ln (name is set in a region E _22), .

An absolute number An or a label name Ln can be input to the areas E ₂₆ and E ₂₇ , and a relative number Rn can be input to the area E ₂₈ . The contents set through the parameter input screen shown in FIG. 14 are stored in the RAM 3 in the system control unit 1.

As described above, the system control unit 1 displays the names of modules stored in the storage device 16 on the display 13 based on the module selection information obtained from the input device such as the keyboard 11 and the mouse 12. Modules based on the functions to be performed (see FIGS. 12 and 13) and information stored in the storage device 17 (that is, the identification codes of the modules selected by the user in the order to be executed). A function to be executed (that is, a function to execute software for achieving a desired purpose).

Next, the processing operation [1] performed by the system control unit 1 in the control system according to the embodiment (1) will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. This processing operation [
1] is an operation performed when the user instructs the loading of the library necessary for the execution of the module by operating the input device such as the keyboard 11 and the mouse 12.

First, a library setting screen displaying a list of libraries as shown in FIG. 16 is displayed on the display 13 (step S1). "WinCom" displayed on the library setting screen
”,“ WinRadio ”,“ WinDisc ”, etc., respectively, the library“ Com.DLL ”shown in FIG.
"," Radio.DLL "," Disk.DLL ", etc.

Next, when a user selects a library through the library setting screen by operating an input device such as the keyboard 11 or the mouse 12 (step S2),
The selected library is dynamically loaded (step S3). Next, it is determined whether or not the library loading is completed (step S4).

If it is determined that the loading has been completed, the identification code management function stored in the loaded library is accessed (step S5), and the function name usable in the library is acquired in association with the identification code. (Step S6). As a result, the module (function) and the function (function) can be called only by the identification code in the system. In other words, a user (for example, a person who builds software for inspecting a product by rearranging a module, etc.) asks a module developer about a necessary library name (for using the module). By doing so, the module to be used can be used. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4 that loading has not been completed, the process returns to step S3.

Next, the processing operation [2] performed by the system control unit 1 in the control system according to Embodiment (1) will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Note that this processing operation [2] is an operation performed when the user instructs the execution of desired software constructed from the module by operating the input device such as the keyboard 11 or the mouse 12. .

First, the counter n is set to 1 (step S11), then the counter c is set to 0 (step S12), and then the information stored in the storage device 17 (that is, identification of modules arranged in the order to be executed) The nth module is executed based on the reference number (step S13), and then it is determined whether or not the execution of the module has been completed normally (step S13).
14).

In addition, as a method of determining whether or not the execution of the module has been normally completed, for example, when the module is a function created in C ++ and returns a value to the caller with a return statement, “0” is used. ”Is returned to the normal end, and“ 1 ”is returned to determine that there is a problem or the value obtained when the module is executed is the upper limit UP or lower limit LOW. For example, it is possible to determine whether or not it is within a range. The upper limit value UP and the lower limit value LOW can be set by the user through the parameter input screen (areas E ₂₄ and E ₂₅ ) as shown in FIG.

If it is determined in step S14 that the processing has been completed normally, it is determined whether or not a module to be executed next is set when the module has been completed normally (that is, whether or not jump is specified). (Step S15). The jump designation can be set by the user for each module through the parameter input screen (area E ₂₆ ) as shown in FIG.

If it is determined in step S15 that jump is not specified, the counter n is set to 1 next.
Are added (step S16), and it is determined whether or not there is a module to be executed nth (that is, whether or not a module to be executed remains) (step S17). If it is determined that there are modules to be executed, the process returns to step S12 and the counter c is set to 0.
And the nth module is executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that there are no modules to be executed, the processing operation [2] is terminated.

If it is determined in step S15 that jump is specified, it is then determined whether or not jump specification is specified by the absolute number An (step S18), and if it is determined that the jump is specified by the absolute number An. The counter n is set to the absolute number An designated by the module (step S19), and then the process returns to step S12.

On the other hand, it is not specified by the absolute number An (that is, specified by the label name Ln).
If it is determined, the absolute number An corresponding to the label name Ln designated by the module is called (step S20), and the counter n is called the absolute number An (step S21).
Then, the process returns to step S12.

If it is determined in step S14 that the module has not ended normally, then 1 is added to the counter c (step S31), and it is determined whether the counter c exceeds the retry count RN (step S31). Step S32). The number of retries RN can be set by the user for each module through the parameter input screen (area E ₂₉ ) as shown in FIG.

If it is determined that the counter c does not exceed the retry count RN, step S13 (FIG. 17).
) And the nth module is executed again. On the other hand, the counter c has a retry count R
If it is determined that the number exceeds N, it is determined that the module cannot be normally terminated. Next, if the module cannot be normally terminated, whether or not a module to be executed next is set (that is, whether or not the module is normally terminated). , Jump is specified) (step S33). jump
The designation can be set by the user for each module through the parameter input screen (areas E ₂₇ and E ₂₈ ) as shown in FIG.

If it is determined in step S33 that jump is specified, it is then determined whether or not jump specification is specified by the absolute number An (step S34), and if it is determined that the jump is specified by the absolute number An. The counter n is set to the absolute number An designated by the module (step S35), and then the process returns to step S12 (FIG. 17).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the absolute number An is not designated, then the jump designation is the label name Ln.
(Step S36), and if it is determined that the label name Ln is designated, the absolute number An corresponding to the label name Ln designated by the module is called (step S37). The counter n is called an absolute number An (step S38),
Then, it returns to step S12.

If it is determined in step S36 that the jump designation is not designated by the label name Ln (that is, designated by the relative number Rn), the relative number Rn designated by the module is added to the counter n. (Step S39), and then returns to Step S12. For example, if the relative number Rn is “+5”, five modules are skipped,
If the relative number Rn is “−4”, the process returns to the previous four modules. If it is determined in step S33 that jump is not specified, then 1 is added to the counter n (step S40), and the process proceeds to step S17 (FIG. 17).

According to the control system according to the embodiment (1), the modules stored in the storage device 15 (for example, a module for measuring AC voltage and a module for measuring limiter sensitivity) are independent of each other. Since it is configured, it can be combined freely. Therefore, software for inspecting a product (for example, a radio device) can be constructed by freely combining modules stored in the storage device 15.

In addition, since the function stored in the storage device 16 is called from the module stored in the storage device 15, a detailed portion (not the main part) (
For example, the processing function corresponding to each control target) can be provided not in the module but in a function called from the module.

As a result, a module that achieves the inspection items necessary for the inspection of the radio device, such as a module for simply measuring the AC voltage or a module for measuring the limiter sensitivity, without worrying about peripheral devices to be controlled. Simply select and you will be able to build software to test your radio device. Therefore, even a person who does not have programming knowledge can construct software that achieves a desired purpose such as inspection of a radio device, and can greatly improve software development efficiency.

In addition, the function constituting a module or function can be freely created by the creator. Therefore, the number and format of parameters can be determined freely. However, if the creator can freely decide, it is not easy for a person other than the creator to understand the parameter function. Therefore, in a control system according to another embodiment, a description of a parameter may be incorporated using a comment function. Thereby, a person other than the creator can easily understand the parameter function.
