1. A process of dynamically configuring a set of instructions executed by a computer to permit the computer to implement processing functions defined by an operator, the process comprising:

  • providing in the computer a library of general function modules ordered by a programmer in predetermined processing priority levels;

    linking within the computer only those general function modules necessary for linked modules to implement the defined processing functions, said linking being performed sequentially between modules on the same level, and between modules on different levels, by an operating system independent of operator intervention other than providing the defined processing functions;

    communicating test data from external devices to the linked functional modules to implement processing of the test data in accordance with the processing functions by the linked modules, all modules on the same level being run concurrently via parallel processing; and

    communicating outputs from the linked functional modules to buffers connected to select data presentation devices.
