A Comparison of Display Formats for the Electronic Master Monitor and Advisory Display System.

Abstract

A comparison of two sets of display formats for the Electronic Master Monitor and Advisory Display System (EMMADS) was conducted to determine the effect display format has no performance. Performance measures included accuracy of response and latency of response to a display of a fault, as well as error on a subsidiary tracking task. A subjective questionnaire was used to determine if pilot preferences exist for display format. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in any performance measure due to the display formats but that there was a significant difference in reaction time among the subsystems. The subsystem with only three alternative faults had a significantly lower reaction time than the two other subsystems with eight and ten alternatives each. Pilot preference tended to favor those formats which were simple, uncluttered, and which appeared to be least busy.
