Abstract
A graphical program development system for developing a graphical program, wherein the development system utilizes a configuration matrix for representing the graphical program. The matrix may graphically illustrate or specify the operation of the computer program. The matrix may comprise columns (or rows) displayed on the display device, including one or more columns which comprise symbols for functional elements and one or more interconnection columns that include interconnections between two or more of the symbols for functional elements. Once the matrix (the computer program) has been created, the computer program may be executed, wherein the computer program executes according to the interconnected symbols for functional elements displayed in the matrix.
