1. A machine-implemented method for debugging a low-level process associated with a graphical notation diagram comprising:
- setting one or more high-level debug events on one or more graphical elements in the graphical notation diagram;
initiating a debug mode, wherein initiating the debug mode includes evaluating the one or more graphical elements in the diagram to identify the one or more high-level debug events; and
generating a set of pending event requests, wherein the set of pending event requests is generated by creating an event request for each of the one or more high-level debug events.

Abstract
A low-level process, which was mapped from a high-level graphical notation diagram, is debugged using the high-level graphical notation diagram. To debug the low-level process, a debugging interface allows a user to set and track breakpoints and other debug events from the high-level graphical notation diagram. When a breakpoint or other debug event is encountered during low-level processing, the high-level graphical notation diagram is updated to show the status of the low-level process.

12. A machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to debug a low-level process associated with a graphical notation diagram comprising:
-
instructions for causing one or more processors to set one or more high-level debug events on one or more graphical elements in the graphical notation diagram;
instructions for causing one or more processors to initiate a debug mode, wherein the instructions for initiating the debug mode include instructions for evaluating the one or more graphical elements in the diagram to identify the one or more high-level debug events; and
instructions for causing one or more processors to generate a set of pending event requests, wherein the set of pending event requests is generated by creating an event request for each of the one or more high-level debug events. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
