Abstract

In a display control device (10), an acquisition unit (21) acquires a value of a signal outputted from an apparatus (60) during execution of a control program (52) which controls the apparatus (60). A control unit (22) controls a display device (30) to display a code of the control program (52) on a screen (54), and to display the value of the signal acquired by the acquisition unit (21), on a portion in the code of the control program (52) which corresponds to the signal, in a format that enables distinction of a state of the apparatus (60) of the time the value of the signal is outputted.

Dependent claims

A display control device comprising:

processing circuitry
to acquire a value of a signal outputted from an apparatus during execution of a control program which controls the apparatus,
to obtain a selection from a user of a time point, and
to control a display device to display a code of the control program on a screen, and to display, for the time point, the value of the acquired signal, on a portion in the code which corresponds to the signal, in a format that enables distinction of a state of the apparatus for the time point when the value of the signal is outputted,
wherein the signal is a binary signal corresponding to either ON or OFF, and
wherein the processing circuitry controls the display device to further display a probability that the signal is ON for the time point.
