| Introduction | Human Interface Target List | Scenario1, 2, 3 | Log Files |
Below are the raw log files from the evaluation. These are arranged by user.
| Tape | Timestamp | User | Scenario | Comment |
| 00:02:13 | Jon | 1 | Sue explains the lab | |
| 00:02:37 | Jon | 1 | Jon reads intro to lab | |
| 00:03:23 | Jon | 1 | This part has already been done for me? | |
| 00:04:03 | Jon | 1 | I am assuming the person who logged in had the appropriate security for (product) | |
| 00:04:36 | Jon | 1 | This looks a bit different. The severity field has changed - it's nice. | |
| 00:06:00 | Jon | 1 | Why is it that some are grayed out and some are white? I almost would have thought I would have been queried for a user name and password | |
| 00:06:24 | Jon | 1 | What if I was to walk away from my desk? | |
| 00:07:51 | Jon | 1 | I thought for a second that I could use the scroller on the mouse. | |
| 00:08:38 | Jon | 1 | I guess since there is no way to highlight a particular section, you can't use the scroller | |
| 00:09:40 | Jon | 1 | clicked on the view event log | |
| 00:10:01 | Jon | 1 | looks like it's a log of 100 records | |
| 00:10:39 | Jon | 1 | looks like we've dropped a "t" - - truncated text, user clicking on it | |
| 00:11:12 | Jon | 1 | Looks like event logs from | |
| 00:11:31 | Jon | 1 | looks like that title bar isn't doing too well | |
| 00:12:52 | Jon | 1 | searching the logs | |
| 00:13:49 | Jon | 1 | moving on to Source MD | |
| 00:14:09 | Jon | 1 | ok looks like an explorer type view | |
| 00:15:04 | Jon | 1 | user accidentally exited out of whole entire system | |
| 00:18:24 | Jon | 1 | looks like the tool bar is different based on what is active | |
| 00:19:27 | Jon | 1 | now in Applications | |
| 00:19:59 | Jon | 1 | this is where we are looking for logix pro | |
| 00:21:18 | Jon | 1 | Now I'm looking at Guardian MD | |
| 00:21:40 | Jon | 1 | looks like an explorer type view | |
| 00:22:58 | Jon | 1 | Looking at settings screen | |
| 00:23:43 | Jon | 2 | starting softlogix 5 | |
| 00:24:39 | Jon | 2 | I'm config now as per instructions on page 21 | |
| 00:25:26 | Jon | 2 | now I am checking a plc out of source control | |
| 00:27:04 | Jon | 2 | The tool tip doesn't seem to be coming up, and I didn't memorize them | |
| 00:29:27 | Jon | 2 | ok now I can edit the ladder logic | |
| 00:30:22 | Jon | 2 | Sue - just as an aside - - lets make sure audit logging is on | |
| 00:33:36 | Jon | 2 | just reading about what changes I need to make to the ladder logic | |
| 00:44:33 | Jon | 2 | logix- thought I was missing something there. I couldn't get that window to close | |
| 00:45:34 | Jon | 2 | again no tool tips, but I'm guessing on icons | |
| 00:47:39 | Jon | 2 | looks like it was checked in and out a couple of times | |
| 00:00:54 | Jon | 3 | tape restart after Sue gets section three | |
| 00:02:18 | Jon | 3 | I'm gonna maximize the search screen so that I can see all of this | |
| 00:02:50 | Jon | 3 | I'm wondering if this search is case sensitive | |
| 00:03:51 | Jon | 3 | ok - so the instructions are out of sequence | |
| 00:04:35 | Jon | 3 | * I probably just lost all of that information cause I clicked overview | |
| 00:05:29 | Jon | 3 | *It would be nice if there was a pull down here. | |
| 00:06:13 | Jon | 3 | the font for the search summary seems to be entirely different | |
| 00:06:32 | Jon | 3 | again I would expect the mouse scroll to work | |
| 00:07:10 | Jon | 3 | most recent is at the top | |
| 00:08:26 | Jon | 3 | do you think the and check box is clear? | |
| 00:13:29 | Jon | 3 | now I'm searching for change notifications - ok, think I'm getting ahead of myself | |
| 00:14:22 | Jon | 3 | again it would be nice to have pull downs to avoid typos - like that one | |
| 00:17:21 | Jon | exit interview | separate out tasks and explanations in the lab | |
| 00:18:07 | Jon | exit interview | *the function of the and/or is interesting | |
| 00:20:01 | Jon | exit interview | I was looking for my own computer in the overview screen | |
| 00:22:08 | Jon | exit interview | side pane - yeah you could stack the panes to have them throughout | |
| 00:27:22 | Jon | exit interview | * think I'd rather see events on this side bar. | |
| 00:30:22 | Jon | exit interview | "Application" , "Launch Pad" I guess that works | |
| 00:32:55 | Jon | exit interview | would you make a distinction btwn MD and non MD applications? Uhm, I think it makes sense to keep them grouped separately. | |
| 00:34:15 | Jon | exit interview | It's really two separate collections of tools | |
| 00:35:19 | Jon | exit interview | since logix is an application is being monitored - it's a tool in my tool box | |
| 00:36:21 | Jon | exit interview | my mind is breaking it down there | |
| 00:38:56 | Jon | exit interview | an audit as apposed to an edit log? Audit makes sense | |
| 00:45:04 | Jon | exit interview | As for icons - the logs, overview, reports, settings are ok. The repository and applications icons are not as clear. | |
| 00:48:52 | Jon | exit interview | So people have to run it on the floor with their security exposed? | |
| 00:50:17 | Jon | exit interview | It would be nice to drive the overview screen as a screen saver - then when you hit any key you'd have to log into NT and (product) | |
| 00:51:03 | Jon | exit interview | I'd like to see this implemented with a lot of thin client and use it with PanelView Plus | |
| 00:52:20 | Jon | exit interview | If you had the ability to access (product) through PanelView, that would be an easy way to access without distributing new hardware. | |
| 00:56:35 | Jon | exit interview | we sell over 90 thousand, if you have thin client capabilities - a lot of people could access it. | |
| 00:57:26 | Jon | exit interview | we'd also like to have panel builder as a MD tie in. | |
| 01:03:15 | Jon | exit interview | That's a big advantage because a lot of times maintenance people don't have the program |
| Tape | Timestamp | User | Scenario | Comment |
| 00:07:17 | John & Wes | 1 | the tool bar across the top should be along the side | |
| 00:07:30 | John & Wes | 1 | lab - screen capture missing | |
| 00:07:52 | John & Wes | 1 | lab- says source MD instead of repository | |
| 00:08:53 | John & Wes | 1 | I'd like to be able to shrink down the messages | |
| 00:09:14 | John & Wes | 1 | maybe details as separate area | |
| 00:10:29 | John & Wes | 1 | this side pane should be called navigation menu instead of "Logs" | |
| 00:11:28 | John & Wes | 1 | there must be a nicer way to shrink the navigation | |
| 00:11:54 | John & Wes | 1 | I'd like to see icons with tool tip text instead of icons and text | |
| 00:13:27 | John & Wes | 1 | lab- confused if they need to do something - I'd like to be able to do something instead of just look | |
| 00:14:45 | John & Wes | 1 | john clicking around | |
| 00:15:46 | John & Wes | 1 | right click to remove | |
| 00:16:28 | John & Wes | 1 | it's a little like (product) - central navigation | |
| 00:18:54 | John & Wes | 1 | I would want to be able to drag and drop from the desktop into the "applications" launch pad | |
| 00:19:31 | John & Wes | 1 | bug - menu crashes when you resize | |
| 00:25:27 | John & Wes | 2 | general comment - checking program out, not going to be common for these users. | |
| 00:32:12 | John & Wes | 2 | this whole process - don't want to give plc directions on details. Maybe give it to them both ways. they can get detail of they need it | |
| 00:35:12 | John & Wes | 2 | you are demonstrating (product), don't want to spend lots of time read | |
| 00:40:42 | John & Wes | 2 | I'm not sure what I did | |
| 00:41:05 | John & Wes | 2 | I think the point is that it's keeping track of all of our edits | |
| 00:41:33 | John & Wes | 2 | I'm sure this is very valuable to someone | |
| 00:43:18 | John & Wes | 2 | I would want to make these source control comments while I'm in the edit sessions | |
| 00:43:55 | John & Wes | 2 | It's difficult to keep track of everything | |
| 00:44:54 | John & Wes | 2 | you need a floating sticky note as you are working | |
| 00:45:31 | John & Wes | 2 | even if it captures what you did - it doesn't know why you did it | |
| 00:48:28 | John & Wes | 3 | these should be drop downs with commonly used entries | |
| 00:51:11 | John & Wes | 3 | what does default mean? | |
| 00:52:51 | John & Wes | 3 | is there a priority for these messages? can I sort? if there is a hierarchy | |
| 00:53:07 | John & Wes | 3 | is this a flat list of items? | |
| 00:58:26 | John & Wes | 3 | lab- screen capture shows logix instead of guardian | |
| 00:58:58 | John & Wes | 3 | I really like the color code | |
| 00:59:33 | John & Wes | 3 | I'd still really like to have a hierarchical collapse | |
| 01:00:13 | John & Wes | 3 | are these supposed to be printed - people will complain about big blocks of color | |
| 01:00:46 | John & Wes | exit comments | i like the functionality - needs some ui work |
