Introduction

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is the general purpose User Interface for the Online Software of ATLAS that allows you to steer the Data Acquisition System (DAQ) and to interfere with its different parts.

Global structure of the GUI

On the left side of the GUI you can find the Run Control Commands and Run Information & Settings panels allowing to steer the DAQ and change its state as well as to see the most important run parameters like the run number, event number or start time of the run.

On the right side the user can find a set of tabbed panels that can be selected by the corresponding buttons and that allow the user to interact with different parts of the DAQ system (e.g., the Run Control).

On the bottom part, the user can find the ERS message window where messages received from the Error Reporting System (ERS) are displayed.

On the top part of the IGUI you can find a menu bar and a toolbar that allow the user to apply some settings of the IGUI or to start other applications.
