The controller is modeled as a hierarchical finite-state-machine from which a behavioral VHDL description is generated automatically. The device is prototyped using a FPGA-based emulating system.

首先将该控制器模拟为一个分级有限状态机，通过它自动生成一个VHDL行为描述，然后使用基于FPGA的仿真系统模拟这个控制器。

The most famous finite state machine is probably Alan Turing's hypothetical device: the Turing machine, which he wrote about in his 1936 paper, "On Computable Numbers."

最著名的有限状态机可能是阿兰·图灵在1936年发表的论文《On Computable Numbers》上写下的的猜想——图灵机。
