Thus, it isn't meant to do everything. I'm not writing an interface for Jane Public but for someone who has many weeks of training. Too much information all at once is bad. I'm happy to say that the interface for the operators is vastly simpler than that we currently provide our operators at many of our other telescopes like the 140-ft. The interface is so much simpler that a possible problem may actually be keeping operators awake.
Reliability is key.
An average device takes about two days to create its interface. Maintnance costs should be low since the GUI builder I've decided to use is publicly available and supported. Even though it might be a 'cheap' interface, safety is never to be compomised. Note that the operators will work with a suite of interfaces, not just the ones I'm devloping.
