48: You Say Data, I Say Daaa-taaa

SCADA User Interface design has many things in common with other graphical design methodologies. We look at how SCADA works, what it does, the limitations of the human eye and colour perception, buttons as buttons, indicators as indicators and more.
With Vic Hudson and John Chidgey.
