Eric, I thought I would pop in here and note your comment above. This is exactly what I was talking about when I sent you the off reflector note about the GUI. If you recall I voiced concern that controls called things like "GF Gain" would creep into the GUI. If you recall I suggested a "metric" that all controls exactly match in title and function in the set up to prevent user confusion and masking of what is being controlled at the business end of the system.. I will just go ahead a take the liberty of quoting myself: "To return to my RF Gain Example above, if you wanted to derive an RF Gain number from the settings in the AGC panel then that number could appear in that panel in a way that it is obvious that it is derived from the 5 numbers above it. A vertical array of spreadsheet like boxes would do the trick there that contain the 5 variables, and a double outlined box below them that indicates that it is a result. But the Setup panel would first contain that RF Gain Number to indicate to the user from where this derived number might have meaning and to meet the metric test for inclusion." The poor fellow that you were responding to above did not know what the control RF Gain sets. That is not his fault. Again, I suggest, let's clean up the set-up screen so they are squeaky clean (no subject matter correlation errors on any given menu) and draw all the related mode specific setting into the appropriate set up menu. then just go and buy a docking panels library from your favorite vendor, and let the user dock what he needs at the moment to his front GUI. By creating front panel controls like RF Gain you are laying a traps for the unwary. People will be falling into them right and left. Anyway just my 2 cents. And, by the way, you guys are doing a great job. I just nit pick because that is my nature. 73s -Dan K6KDK _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
