The sat-nms software contains a powerful tool which enables the operator to customize or even create user interface screens which are nice looking and easy to operate. The tool, called the ' Screen Editor ', works much like a vector based drawing program. It lets the user place various kinds of objects (editing fields for settings, textual or graphical status displays and much more) into the screen to edit.
The software comes with predefined screens for each device type. These screens can be used to create a hierarchical structured user interface with a few mouse clicks. On the other hand, the configuration capabilities of the sat-nms user interface are powerful enough to create special user interface screens exactly matching the operator's needs.
