User interface menus

The set of user interface components supplied with MATLAB allows the user to design GUIs that match those used in sophisticated software packages. Such components are graphics objects with handles and properties. They come in two classes user interface controls (uicontrols) and user interface menus (uimenus). The uicontrols and uimenus can be combined with other graphics objects... 

The AEBBL SW ains on the PC. The software uses a menu structure, easy to use by a non expert operator. AEBIL has been designed to operate in DOS environjnent in order to enhance its real-time operation capabilities. The user-interface has been developed so as to permit a window-driven operation. 

The interactive SAS Import Wizard provides an easy way to import the contents of Microsoft Excel and Access files into SAS. Here again, the Import Wizard is essentially a graphical user interface that builds the PROC IMPORT code for you. Begin in the interactive SAS windowing environment by selecting File from the toolbar and then Import Data... from the drop-down menu. A window like the following will appear, where you can select Microsoft Excel as a standard data source. 

Since the data base for this Instrument resides on the host HP 1000 computer, the experiment setup files must first be transferred from the local computer to the HOST computer. This 1s done using the Dowell Schlumberger local laboratory computer network and the Hewlett Packard DS/1000-IV networking software. The programmatic user interface to the network Is again accessed through the main menu program for the instrument. 

Figure 7 shows part of the user consultation that elicited the inputs listed in Figure 6. The current user interface provides on-line help as well as a menu of numbered valid responses. The user may either type in the number or the listed item. In answer to the user typing " ", the system rephrases the question, redisplays acceptable values, and specifies what other characters are recognized. If this is not enough information, the...

This, of course, is a very important part of the program. We are developing it on an as-needed basis in response to feedback from users. In particular, we still have not implemented a complete explanation facility. The user interface currently provides online help and a menu based selection of valid responses whenever applicable. 

Desktop GAMP (2001) Represents the end user workstation and local software environment. Normally provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) front-end menu providing users with access to required applications. Many desktop environments can be reconfigured by the end user. 

Another device involved in the input of data is the mouse (or, generically, the pointer device, since many people use trackballs or touch pads instead of mice). The mouse changes the position of a pointer on the screen relative to the position of the mouse. It is used to select menu options and other items within Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). 

Start menu As the main focus of the Windows 9x/NT/2000 user interface, the Start menu allows program shortcuts to be placed for easy and organized access. 

The most important process element is the user s intention in this situation, i.e. Realize the current functional zone . This is normally determined by a user interface element being activated, e.g. a menu item being clicked. The current activity type of Create extruder realizations - synthesizing a model, in contrast to analyzing a number of alternatives or deciding on one of them - is also part of the situation. 

This interface is a mock-up with which all relevant activities can be performed. However, the mock-up cannot be connected and used with the full-functional AHEAD system. As can be seen from Fig. 5.52 some menu items were eliminated by the software-ergonomic review and redesign. The scenario, developed for evaluation and improvement of the user interface aimed to the creation of a new document. Divided into subtasks for the work analysis, this goal is achieved by successively going through nine subtasks (6.1 to 6.9), which are represented in Fig. 5.52. The decision if the creation is started by menu or button represents the initial activity (6.1.1 or 6.1.2). After that, one task must be chosen by entering the task-number or clicking on the task. This step... 

Window- and menu-driven, ALEX s user interface is clear, simple, and concise. ALEX may be run with or without a Mouse. 

For each question asked by the expert system, the user is presented with a menu, or list, of possible answers (mainly in "True/ False" format) from which to choose, or the user may be asked to enter textual information, using the keyboard. The user interface also includes extensive on-line help for first-time or infrequent users who may not be familiar with expert system terminology or with the user interface of the Level 5 expert system shell. This "help" feature can be invoked at any point during a consultation by pressing a function key. 

In the user interface, provision must be made for the user to identify the cylinder or connection on which the operation is to act, and for the user to specify the desired changes. The click-select and menu specification which is characteristic of the Macintosh or of Microsoft Windows (TM) is suited to at least crude specification of these operations. With such direct manipulation of the cylinders the user would find it extremely easy to fold a molecule. For example, rather than painstakingly altering individual torsion angles as is required in software provided with the IRIS graphics station, the user could move an entire sidechain "as an object" in itself. 

On the top of the user interface, there is a line of the menus and under them the icon bars. By left-clicking on a menu button you have access to a corresponding context menu, also known as pull-down menu. The icon bars and the menu items will be explained in detail in the following chapters. 

You can load a file into the OPUS user interface (see Fig. 2.8) by using the Load File command from the File menu or by clicking on the icon cf located in the upper left icon bar. In this manner you open the Load Spectrum dialog box shown in Fig. 3.2. The icons in the upper line of this box have the following meaning ... 

The user interface is designed using a menu technique the implementation today is in DEC S Forms Management System (FMS). It consists of a sequence of menus which allows the user to select different input and query functions. A function is selected by hitting only one key. Pre-selections on each level are available as well as a header line, providing information on the position of the current screen in the menu hierarchy. Another feature to facilitate usage of the system is the help facility for menu screens, where some fields have to be entered to specify query parameters, help is available for each field. 

The user interface of the HTSS system is controlled by a graphic-oriented interpreter language. This enables the user to customise the HTSS menu and to introduce new commands. 

Master Computer software. This program does not need to send or receive signals from any controller, but receives signals from each of the computers in the cell. It is responsible for directing the operations of the entire sequence of the cell for example, when it receives the signal that a machine-tool has finished a piece and that the door is open, it sends a signal to the robotic arm to pick up the piece and take it to the next location. The user interface of this program is a drop down menu that yields a list of all the control computers connected to the system. When we select one of them, we can see the virtual representation of the associated element. 

Movement from one node to another may be achieved by various user actions, such as button clicks, menu choices, or keypresses. In HyperCard, users principally jump to a node by clicking on a text or graphical button linked to that node. This action conflicts with the standard user actions required in the Macintosh Desktop User Interface, where a single click on an object selects that object (signalled by reverse video highlighting), and a double-click is required in order to open (or go to) the object. 

With the release of Chromeleon 7, JhermoSCIENTIFlC has focused on usability aspects by reducing forcefuUy the number of required chcks for performing a special task and by offering a modern graphical user interface in the style of MS Office. MS Office 2007 only displays the menu items that are required for the selected task. 

A graphic user interface (GUI) was built to make the C-V device software user friendly. The GUI shows the measured temperature, electrical conductivity, acoustic velocity, and the determined salt and inhibitor concentrations. By clicking on HSZ on the menu bar, a HSZ window will appear and the determined salt and inhibitor concentrations will be automatically fed to the integrated thermodynamic model. The hydrate phase boundary is determined by the model after the hydrocarbon composition is loaded. The determined hydrate phase boundary can be shown in a plot or saved in a Microsoft Excel data file. The hydrate safety margin can be calculated if the operating temperature and pressure are known. 

After you ve launched ACID, from the File menu, select New (or press Ctrl + N). In the New Project dialog hox (see Figure 2.7), click the OK hutton. You are presented with the ACID workspace or user interface (UI) with an empty timeline and no tracks.
