User Experience - Introducing
flex
GUI
flexGUI - a new graphic user interface for APPolo Control Software. It offers a feature-rich, simple, and
intuitive user-experience. We have achieved this through the careful design and implementation of the
APPolo Graphical User Interface flexGUI™. Once APPolo is installed, the software automatically discovers
all connected LYNX hardware and configures itself to display a full hierarchy of the connected racks and
modules. Clicking on a device brings up its dedicated GUI display. The graphical representation of the
modules shows internal connections and signal flow in the form of an easy to read block diagram. This
greatly simplifies the understanding of a module’s function and shows the signal flow from input to output.
All inputs and outputs are monitored in real time with the status and format of each signal clearly displayed
on the system diagram. Users can drill down into the module for more information by zooming in or with a
simple click on the area you need to examine in more detail. For “path finding,” simply move your cursor over
a signal line to highlight the complete signal path through the module. Reconfiguring modules is easy. Simply
drag and drop connections to change the module’s internal connections and signal routing.
APPolo - powerful, simple, and intuitive visualization and control.

For changing a module’s internal connection
and signal routing, simply drag and drop the
module’s connection to a new location

Each module has a customized flexGUI with an interactive display in the form of a flow diagram. flexGUI
offers interactive zoom, path finding, drag and drop for connections and is easy to use for module setup and
configuration.
