GUIDE TO THE CODING OF CONTROLS.

• The purposes of control coding and standardizing control coding are discussed. Six coding methods are described: location coding; labeling; color coding; shape coding; size coding; and mode of operation coding. For each method the following are provided; a description of the method; the conditions for use; the major advantages and disadvantages; considerations toward standardizing its use; and a summary of recommendations regarding when to and when not to use the method. A summary table which covers the foregoing factors is also provided. The physical physiological and psychological conderations which affect the application of coding are discussed, and a number of recommendations and good practices are offered. This is followed by a discussion of factors influencing the assignment of priorities to controls for coding purposes. A procedure for developing control priorities is suggested. The document concludes with a discussion of standardizing the coding of controls across related equipments. (Author).
