Abstract
Code module interfaces are provided which allow a user to adjust the functionality of a program at run-time. The code module interfaces (CMIs) can be selectively activated by a user at run-time. Then, the control software will call the CMIs at various instances, for example, at startup, after each state change in the control software, at idle time and when the control software has completed all of its tasks. Alternatively, when each CMI is loaded, it can specify at which state change(s) that CMI is to be called to increase speed of operation.
