Method and apparatus for analyzing machine control sequences

A method for enabling a user to analyze machine control sequence execution results, the method comprising:

• displaying a graphical user interface (GUI), the displayed GUI having a first window, the first window presenting at least one option that enables a user to open a file comprising machine control sequence execution results resulting from execution of a machine control sequence configured to move data storage media to and from a media interface;
• and
• upon detecting a selection of said at least one option by the user, displaying a second window, said second window displaying at least a summary of said execution results comprised in said file.

A computer program for generating a graphical user interface (GUI), the program being stored on a computer-readable medium, the program comprising:

• a first code segment, the first code segment generating a graphical user interface (GUI) and causing the GUI to be displayed on a display device, the displayed GUI having a first window, the first window presenting at least one option that enables a user to open a file comprising machine control sequence execution results resulting from execution of a machine control sequence configured to move data storage media to and from a media interface;
• and
• a second code segment, the second code segment configured to determine whether a selection of said at least one option has been made by the user, wherein upon determining that the user has selected said at least one option, displaying on said display device a second window, said second window displaying at least a summary of said execution results comprised in said file on said display device.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor configured to execute logic configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI), logic configured to interact with at least one human to machine interface, and logic configured to generate commands applied to control systems within one or more remote devices;
• and
• a display device in communication with said processor, wherein when said processor executes the logic configured to generate the GUI, a first window is displayed on the display device, said first window presenting at least one option that enables a user to open a file comprising a machine control sequence configured to move data storage media to and from a media interface.

A method for enabling a user to analyze execution results of commands generated in a control system, comprising:

• generating a graphical user interface (GUI) having a first window that presents at least one option that enables a user to controllably execute a file comprising a machine control sequence configured to direct one or more remote devices to move data storage media to and from a media interface;
• and
• upon detecting a selection of said at least one option by the user, executing the machine control sequence.
