Open Platform Application Launcher (OPAL) is CSFD’s in-house operating environment, offering an easy to use interface between the system user and CSFD’s kernel applications. The GUI version presents a Windows-style front-end incorporating menu options, drop-downs and pushbuttons, navigable using either the mouse or the keyboard.

Operators can access individual program applications by drilling down through the menu levels, or for their everyday tasks there are a number of shortcut options, such as selection by program ID or from lists of favourites and last programs used. Messaging and printing facilities also come as standard.

For the system administrator, there are even more features, including data maintenance, statistics, and a whole host of security and set-up options, allowing for maximum control over the operating environment.
