Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by processor circuitry, the computer readable medium comprising:
instructions executable with the processor circuitry to control functional operation of a relay and metering test instrument;
instructions executable with the processor circuitry to receive a source code state program selected by a user, and operational parameters received as inputs from the user;
instructions executable with the processor circuitry to compile the source code state program and the operational parameters into a test routine and generate a pointer to a memory storage location of the test routine;
instructions executable with the processor circuitry to selectively execute a plurality of test routines, the test routines executable independently in a plurality of respective test states;
instructions executable with the processor circuitry to selectively execute the test routine in addition to the plurality of test routines, the test routine executable independently in a respective test state;
instructions executable with the processor circuitry to store the plurality of test routines and the test routine in a memory circuitry as independently executable;
instructions executable with the processor circuitry to store the pointers to the different test routines; and
instructions executable with the processor circuitry to output test signals and monitor for receipt of input test signals according to execution of the test routine or one or more of the plurality of test routines according to the pointers, and initiate transitions between different test states according to the pointers;
wherein the instructions executable with the processor circuitry comprise instructions executable with the processor circuitry that enable deployment of a new parameter-adjustment algorithm(s) without requiring an update(s) to firmware in the relay and metering test instrument.
