what you described inspired me... actually there should be - either external
or internal - possibility to display the logical diagram graphically. (yes a
large vector -based, or oldschool bitmap screen with all the gates and
ogical functions with descriptions like logical block names and parameters
displayed. The connecting lines shoud have arrows when the line is single
way, and also possibly discerned by colors, for input pins, output pins and
internal; connections of different colors. Unconnected pins or inproperly
connected pins and lines should also come with different color code. name of
the lines could also be in green ove the line.)
With that, we could continue forward with the editor of the diagram, or even
start with it.
Mitsubishi automation has a program like that for their ALPHA modules,
but... it has a HUI od 1995-MS-DOS style, ewwww.
But anyways, do you want to see it? I could sent it to you so you can see
the inspiration.
