			== Basic features ==
			NODAL is a high level language based on [[FOCAL]] and SNOBOL4, with some influence from [[BASIC]]. The language was developed to operate on the computer network controlling the SPS accelerator at [[CERN]].

			NODAL is an interpretive language designed for interactive use . This is the most important aspect of the language, and is reflected in its structure. the interactive facilities makes it possible to write, debug and modify programs much faster than with compiled based language like [[FORTRAN]] and [[ALGOL]].

			The language has three special features. The first is a syntax which supports a multi-computer network operation. The second is extensive string handling features which makes it easy to write good programs for operator interaction. The third feature is the ability to add machine code functions for specific applications. a special type of such functions is the data module. By means of data modules, process control equipment connected to the computer can be handled as program variables. NODAL also supports the international instrumentation interface [[CAMAC]].
