Abstract	Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) play a critical role in the operation and maintenance of large-scale distributed control systems. In this work, we present a synoptic-based visualization for the Central Signal Processor (CSP) of the SKA (Square Kilometre Array) telescope, developed using Taranta, a web-based visualization tool for TANGO systems. The synoptic view provides an intuitive, multi-level representation of CSP, from the upper-level control managed by CSP.LMC down to individual data processing subsystems, including CBF, PSS, and PST devices. The synoptic diagrams are created using Inkscape and exported as SVG files, enabling flexible and straightforward integration with Taranta. A key focus of this work is the collaboration between different subsystem teams, which was essential to accurately model and visualize the full CSP hierarchy. We also define a strategy to validate the effectiveness and the usability of the GUI, ensuring it delivers tangible value in improving the monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities of complex control systems such as SKA.
