This provides a more complete and more informative debugging environment for certain classes of signals. The present invention also provides various features for obtaining audial information regarding signals in the graphical program. A cursor driver icon is also disclosed which can be used in conjunction with the audio probe icon and which provides a motor driven audible cursor capability.Other References
