Designer's Guide for the Panel Program

Abstract : This Designer's Guide describes an interactive computer graphics program intended for the computer aided design of avionics control and display panels. Using this program, a designer can specify the basic panel on which all other components will be mounted as well as the components themselves. Also, he can locate and relocate the components, add graphic elements (text, lines, circles), and call for printed, punched, or hard copy (plot) output. The requirements and considerations of several applicable MIL-STANDARDS have been incorporated into the program to facilitate the design process. The Guide to the operation of the PANEL program includes descriptions of the processing available for each of the program functions and subfunctions. A listing of the program is also included along with a brief description of most of the subroutines.
