The ekrubNano micro IIon RIE GUI

 

Designing the visual composition and temporal behavior of a GUI is an important part of software application programming in the area of human–computer interaction. Its goal is to enhance the efficiency and ease of use for the underlying logical design of a stored program, a design discipline named usability. Methods of user-centered design are used to ensure that the visual language introduced in the design is well-tailored to the tasks.

The visible graphical interface features of an application are sometimes referred to as GUI (pronounced gooey).  Typically, users interact with information by manipulating visual widgets that allow for interactions appropriate to the kind of data they hold. The widgets of a well-designed interface are selected to support the actions necessary to achieve the goals of users. A model–view–controller allows a flexible structure in which the interface is independent from and indirectly linked to application functions, so the GUI can be customized easily. This allows users to select or design a different skin at will, and eases the designer's work to change the interface as user needs evolve. Good user interface design relates to users more, and to system architecture less.

 

The Micro IIon plasa RIE GUI interface was designed to be an Intuitive user interface 

 

 

The main GUI operations screen

 

 The recipe editor screen

 

The process parameter graphing screen

 

 The graphing screen is recipe controlled function and can be enabled manually, when not in recipe control.

When writing a recipe, all the system functions are available to enable for a step, or disable.  All functions have

the option to be enabled at the same time in the same recipe step. The same controls are available for  the graphing

function. the graphing function for example can be used to monitor a gas stabilizing while having the ability to

monitor the RF wattage, system pressure recipe STEP time recipe STEP # and recipe STEP name.  This can be

incredible powerful for optimizing a recipe gas, RF power parameters in a STEP, or just optimizing recipe over time in general.
