5.3.2 Graphical Historical Displays
The system shall have the capability to plot telemetry data retrieved from data storage, plotting selected parameters versus time. Hard copy output is required and a CRT system is desirable. Operation of the plotting system with selection of parameters to be plotted and specification of scaling parameter, in engineering units, is to be under operator control. This function shall provide the capability to display any telemetry data which has been stored and archived.

Operator Interface
The operator interface includes all mechanisms, commands, messages, displays,
displays, etc., by which the operator obtains information from or enters control information into the system. The operator interface shall be designed with emphasis on human engineering.
Any operator command entry and system messages shall be formatted for clarity to minimize errors and the necessity to refer to manuals. If the operator command entry takes the form of an alphanumeric command string, the use of If menus alphabetic and keyword parameters is encouraged.

The operator command system shall permit the interruption of one process to start another. The first process shall then be resumed at the point of interruption. For example,
