Through this wide range of publications manuals, bulletins, films, film bulletins, graphic training aids— ran two divergent currents. One was the distinction between the tactical and the technical publications, as represented by the field manual and the technical manual.

The Chemical Warfare Service emphasized the technical rather than the tactical and the new methods and materials rather than the old. 

Control panel. Figure 7-18 shows the main control board and console. Here are located only those instruments necessary for the safe operation of the reactor. These are arranged in a "visual aid form to reduce operational errors and to facilitate the training of operators. The graphic section is essentially a simplified schematic representation of the chemical process flowsheet with instruments, control switches, and valve-position indicators located in positions corresponding to their location or function in the actual system. 

IPME is a Unix/Silicon Graphics based software tool providing a suite of tools to aid human factors practitioners in understanding human-system performance. IPME incorporates mission analysis, function analysis, function allocation, task analysis, and workload/ performance analysis and prediction. It is a tool that does require training in the use of the tool and can be time consuming to use in complex models.
