Summary
- The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is a crucial element that helps users interact with the product intuitively and efficiently.
Instead of text-based command inputs, the GUI uses visual elements (icons, buttons, menus, etc.) to enable users to easily access and utilize the product's various features. - This manual describes the components of the CIM's GUI, how they function, and the key features designed to optimize the user experience.
