Description

It would be great if we could see in the acquisition tab which protocol will run if you press the ‘Acquire Data’ button, so that you don’t have to switch tabs all the time in fear of executing the wrong protocol!

The main question is here how we do it design wise to not get the GUI cramped even more.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the acquisition tab and the other tabs where DAQ/TP actions are available, focusing on how the current protocol is shown before a button is pressed. Done means the relevant DAQ/TP controls or protocol information are available across tabs without making the GUI more cramped or risking execution of the wrong protocol.
