Phoenix in Oz:
Graphical User Interfaces


Project Phoenix Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Main Project Phoenix GUI

The screen image below shows the main graphical user interface. The Phoenix GUI allows the observer to submit observations, edit the order of observations, and send commands to the subsystems. The screen is divided into three sections that monitor and control the status of observations in the system. The bottom section shows the queued "activities" (observations waiting to run). The middle section shows the activities that are "running" in the system and their states. The top section shows candidate signals (not identified as interference in the database) that will be checked by the Follow-Up Detection Devices (FUDD).

TSS Monitor Display

TSS Monitor (3 kB) The same monitor that displays the Execution GUI also shows a "status board" for the subsystems. This gives the observer a quick visual cue if any problems occur in the subsystems or in the communication between the subsystems. The two Targeted Search System units are referred to as TSS A and TSS B. The letter L or R following a subsystem name indicates the polarization that it processes. MCSA L indicates a Multichannel Spectrum Analyzer processing the Left Circular Polarization. Each Pulse Detector (PD) processes both polarizations.
