UI Mock Version 1

Today, I finally got around to making my first mock-up of the user interface (UI). Here are my results. I have very little experience with UI design. If anyone has any comments on anything involving our graphical design, features, or just UI design in general please comment.

If you are interested in the LabVIEW code please click this link (http://www.mediafire.com/?7zo9sf44oqp42ji) or see our open source downloads page (http://bombsniffingrobot.blogspot.com/p/open-source-design-downloads.html).

Figure 1 below shows the video display screen of the UI. Here the user can simultaneously view four graphs of the sensor (selected in the drop down menu below each graph), while observing the robot's on-board camera. Since this is the primary screen used during normal operation, on the right the user has access to both the robot's battery health and controller connectivity.

Figure 2 shows the sensor information in a graphical format. Here the user can export the information to Excel or a text file to do further computation in other programs.

Figure 3 is the screen that allows the user to view common configuration settings and system statuses. Currently, the user has control over the robot's network settings and where data collected from the robot is saved.
