The GUI is built with Qt Designer (a part of Qt Creator that comes with the anaconda installation of pyqt). It uses pyside (equivalent to PyQt) to convert the Qt Designer .ui file into a .py. minxss_beacon_decoder.py wraps around that GUI code to provide the buttons and text displays with functionality. It uses connect_port_get_packet.py to establish a link with the user-specified serial port or TCP/IP socket and then read from it. minxss_parser.py is then fed the binary and interprets the data into a dictionary, which is returned to minxss_beacon_decoder.py for display in the GUI.

Here is what version 3 of the layout looks like:

The other important component of this program is the optional (but default) automatic forwarding of binary data to the MinXSS team at the University of Colorado at Boulder / Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. There we merge data received at our own ground stations in Boulder and Alaska, and any other data sent in from volunteer HAM operators around the world. We process the data automatically up to the high-level science products and publish them online at our website (http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/minxss/data-ham-radio/science-data/). This all occurs daily.
In order to forward the data, just make sure to leave the "Forward data" toggle checked, and when the pass is over, either click the "Complete Pass" button or just exit the program.
