Draft Expert System GUI

The following is not a real GUI we haven't actually built this yet just used a tool to show what it might look like. Don't expect it to be complete e.g. we have not put all the required input areas in the "Characterize Input" area and the "Strategy..." area is not complete.

The more I think about it this is really just a starting point. We will need to fit in image display, graphical feedback on data processing etc. Eventually we will have to allow multiple samples followed by automatic ranking and data collection/processing based upon rank etc.

The space group combo would be set automatically  as a result of the CC. The re-calculate strategy button could be used after an initial CC, if the user felt that the space group chosen was wrong. In this case the user would manually re-select the space group from the combo box.

As well as relaying text output the "Strategy for data collection" area will be filled in based on the expert system output. The user will also be free to manually edit the data collection strategy. Once the user is happy with the space group and strategy they can then press the collect button to go ahead.

The first two columns are really only different in that they specify the point at which the information is used. Both columns of parameters are either displayed in the GUI (as an observer) or typed in by the user prior to pressing the CC button.

We can see some specific points that need to be decided
