System and method for previewing a sequence of motion control operations

A computer-implemented method for previewing a sequence of motion control operations, the method comprising:

• creating the sequence of motion control operations, wherein the sequence of motion control operations comprises one or more operations operable to perform motion control of a hardware device;
• displaying a first preview window for previewing the motion control performed by the sequence of motion control operations;
• and
• displaying information in the first preview window which visually indicates the motion control performed by the sequence of motion control operations.

A memory medium for previewing two or more motion control operations, the memory medium comprising program instructions executable to:

• receive user input selecting the two or more motion control operations, wherein the motion control operations are operable to perform motion control of a hardware device;
• store information representing the two or more motion control operations;
• display a first preview window for previewing the motion control performed by the two or more motion control operations;
• and
• display information in the first preview window which visually indicates the motion control performed by the two or more motion control operations.

A system for previewing two or more motion control operations, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory storing program instructions;
• a display device;
• a motion control device;
• wherein the processor is operable to execute the program instructions stored in the memory to:
• receive user input selecting the two or more motion control operations, wherein the motion control operations are operable to control the motion control device;
• store information representing the two or more motion control operations;
• display a first preview window on the display device for previewing motion control performed by the two or more motion control operations;
• and
• display information in the first preview window which visually indicates the motion control performed by the two or more motion control operations.

A system for previewing two or more motion control operations, the system comprising:

• a motion control device;
• means for receiving user input selecting the two or more motion control operations, wherein the motion control operations are operable to control the motion control device;
• means for storing information representing the two or more motion control operations;
• means for displaying a first preview window for previewing motion control performed by the two or more motion control operations;
• and
• displaying information in the first preview window which visually indicates the motion control performed by the two or more motion control operations.
