ABSTRACT:
A status display for a hardware modeler includes an LCD panel which is divided into regions corresponding to cartridge banks and each region is further divided into sections corresponding to individual cartridges. The sections display relevant identifying information for its associated cartridge. If the cartridge is currently active, that information is shown in reverse video to indicate that the cartridge is active. The modeler can be paused by pressing a pause switch. The modeler's processor then inhibits activity of inactive cartridges and, at the next opportunity, inhibits activity of active cartridges so that the cartridges can be rearranged, etc. The status of the modeler as a whole is also displayed.
