Control sharing

Guideline  If a control should be used for different functions, or for different variations of a function, then specific function should be selected so that the operators are aware of the selection.

Example

  Unintentional turning off of the digital converter of a Home TV may be prevented by assigning the On-Off switch the single command of controlling the TV screen (and not the digital converter).

Guideline  The station design should highlight the access to the features suited for the situation, expressed in terms of the operational scenarios.
