Claim 0:
1. A system for graphically demonstrating a power control system (PCS) sequence, comprising:
a display;
a processor coupled to control operation of the display; and
a storage device coupled to communicate with the processor, the storage device storing a PCS sequencer thereon that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to:
display a PCS model builder screen on the display, the PCS model builder screen including a workspace to build or edit a PCS model, and an object selection area containing predefined model objects that are dragged and dropped onto the workspace to build or edit the PCS model, each model object representing a PCS component, the PCS model builder screen presenting an image associated with each model object at a location in the workspace where said model object is dropped;
display a PCS sequence builder form on the display to define a PCS sequence for the PCS model, the PCS sequence builder form including an operations list having a plurality of entries, each entry being filled in with one or more commands for the model objects in the PCS model, each command representing a model object operation;
determine an amount of actuation of the model objects, from an interface control, the amount of actuation indicating a manner in which the system applies the PCS sequence to the PCS model; and
apply the PCS sequence to the PCS model in the manner indicated by the amount of actuation on the PCS model builder screen, wherein the PCS model builder screen changes the image presented in the workspace for a model object based on a command in the operations list for said model object, the changing of the image appearing as animation of said model object.
