Abstract:

Four dial displays were compared in a check-reading task. Circular and semicircular dials were structured to yield either qualitative or quantitative information. The circularqualitative dial display was compared with the circular-quantitative display. The semicircular-qualitative dial display was compared with the semicircular-quantitative display. The results indicate that dial displays can be structured to yield qualitative and quantitative information in a space-saving display while maintaining efficient subject performance. Author
