ABSTRACT:
A color graphics display terminal having an edit mode of operation and a graphic mode of operation is disclosed. The edit mode provides interactive man-machine interface capability with an external digital computer, such as an automatic test system control computer. When operating in the graphic mode it decodes received instructions to produce a multi-colored visual display on a raster scan cathode ray tube color monitor. Independent point addressable memories are provided for storing the information to be displayed in the two operating modes. Consequently, the information transmitted to the terminal for display in the graphic mode is saved when the terminal is switched into the edit mode and vice versa. A key feature is that programs can be edited without destroying the last graphic image produced by the program being edited. Data and control commands (such as mode change) are entered into the terminal via a keyboard. The terminal is interfaced with the control computer via the industry standard interface (IEEE-488).
