The M&C main window forms the main entry point to the M&C user interface. As most of the subsidiary M&C windows, it is widely user configurable. In many cases the M&C main window will contain a block diagram showing the state of the devices operated by the M&C like shown in the example below.
In this block diagram each piece of equipment controlled by the M&C is represented by an icon in the window. The color (and/or shape) of the icons signals the state of each device. A double click to a icon opens the Device window for this device, a unified M&C user interface to it.
