5.2 SAM User Interface

Due to the graphical nature of SAM, the requirements for the GUI of SAM are closely linked with the functional requirements of SAM, which are detailed in section 3.2. This section is intended to extend those requirements, rather than repeat them.

The GUI for SAM shall:

1. Include four lists (Data, Analysis Type, Output Type and Stream Combination) enabling the user to select which data, analysis, output and stream combination(s) are to be analysed and displayed (see section 3.2 for more details).
2. Include a facility for displaying the graph or tables produced from analysis.
3. Adhere to the GNOME 2.0 Human Interface Guidelines [1] for desktop integration, windows, menus, toolbars, controls, layout and appearance, icons and user input.
