1. NAME AND TITLE

HSI-DRG: Code System for Use with Human System Interface Design Review Guidelines.

2. CONTRIBUTORS

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC through the Energy Science and Technology Software Center, Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

C++; IBM PC 386 (P00435IBMPC00).

4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

The Human System Interface Design Review Guideline (HSI-DRG) software application supports evaluations conducted using the process described in NUREG-0700 Rev.1 Volume 1. The code supports the design review process by facilitating the selection, evaluation, and analysis of human factors engineering (HFE) guidelines.

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

The software allows a set of guidelines to be customized to the requirements of a specific review. Once a custom evaluation file is created, functions are provided for recording the evaluations and compiling the results in report form. The DRG also provides a complete glossary of terms, an index, and a word search function.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

Note that the User's Guide and DRG software do not contain all of the procedures necessary for conducting HSI design reviews; that information is contained in Volume 1.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

The code is interactive.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

The code was developed on a IBM Compatible computer with a 386 CPU and can be run on a Pentinum.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
