State Diagram

The state diagram is a pictorial description of state relationships. The “State Diagram” figure gives an example. Even though a state diagram provides no extra information, it is generally easier to translate this type of diagram into a state table. Each circle contains the name of the state, while arrows to and from the circles show the transitions between states and the input conditions that cause state transitions. These conditions are written next to each arrow.
