A method for the computer-aided generation of at least one part of an executable control program, particularly a measuring, control, regulating, and/or calibration program, for controlling a control system having at least one electronic processor unit is provided. The functionality of the control program is described at least partially in at least one graphical model and the graphical model is divided in hierarchical levels into submodels. A submodel can be divided nested into submodels of a lower hierarchical level, whereby values for options for the compiling of the graphical model to program code are preset and program code is generated from the model co-compiled to the executable control program. Values for options for the compiling of the graphical model to program code and to the executable control program can be preset thereby granularly with the automatic avoidance of conflicting presettings of values for these options.
