[PSUBS-MAILIST] Instrument Display

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Jon,
I am a little way through the ABS document "Application of ergonomics to marine systems" which has some suggested standards for marine display layouts & symbols 
for boats/ships.
A lot of these would be applicable to submarines, but then standard symbols for other items more peculiar to submarines may need to be sourced elsewhere. 
We could probably produce a pretty good template.
I will look at submitting some draft screen layouts for comment, & we could see 
where we go from there.
Alan

>> I may end up changing my labels back to english instead of using icons.  I originally had english labels but then thought about being a good global doobey and trying to find international icons just in case a non-english speaking person used my sub.  Now I think I over-thought that.  Having used a computer system in the R-300 it seems like it is much easier to say "click on SETTINGS" rather than "click on the icon that sort of looks like a bunch of slide bars" if you have to give instructions over the underwater comms.
