French term or phrase: interface de saisie graphique
"La Société propose une **nouvelle interface de saisie graphique** extrêmement conviviale et aisée à prendre en mains pour créer les modèles acoustiques exploités par CATT-Acoustic. Ce dernier dispose d'un langage propre (le format GEO) pour définir la géométrie et les caractéristiques acoustiques du modèle."

Although it doesn't specifically reference the "saisie" component of the source term, that is typically implied in a GUI, a very common term in English.

interface for graphical entry of data


Explanation:
This is what I take it to mean - since nearly all computer programs now come with a GUI, it would be surprising for a vendor to push the merits of that.
This means that instead of entering data through text (either typing it in or from menus etc), you can actually 'draw' the data on the screen.

SketchPad drawing utility allows the automatic insertion of sketches into calculation sheets and, if appropriate, the graphical entry of data

However, although I'm pretty sure that's the meaning I feel there's probably another (neater) way of expressing this.
