NODAL is an interpreting, higher level, interactive language especially suited for process control applications. NODAL may be executed in all three modes of operation and may call subroutines in NORD PL and MAC.[1]

NODAL (Network-Oriented Document Abstraction Language[2]) is an interpreted language implemented on Norsk Data's NORD-10 computers. Used by CERN and DESY high energy physics labs to control their accelerator hardware, PADAC and SEDAC. Included trackball input, graphics.[3]

NODAL allows commands to be written in one place and executed somewhere else.[4]
