Re: Text file description of GUI - controller uploaded

Sean,

A quick read through just now...

I don't think having the cycle start button become a feedhold is a
good idea. Fingers will be trained to do something which may result
in a problem... A finger trained to goto this particular part of the
screen to "hold" COULD instead "START". Not a good thing. Like
inpouts and outputs in the electricals, starts and stops should be
kept separate, IMO.

Along the same lines, the more consistent you can be "across" the
various screens, the better. Again thinking in terms of "this area
for one type of thing, that area for another..."

Hope this helps,

Ballendo (I'll read it again more carefully later)

P.S. The buttons look nice, but the large screen size 1024x768 is a
PITA, IMO. Feel the same way about Master5. We're not all "driving"
17" monitors at 1.8gigahz! The BEST comment I've read recently was
the one asking WHY the pc-based control designers felt the need to
put everything on ONE screen! I'd MUCH prefer more smaller screens,
compared to the one size that don't fit version...
