Optional extension cables are available

The basic VOT kit, shown in figure 20, consists of
a display unit, keyboard assembly, controller circuit
board, and connecting cables.
The 911 VOT features a 305-millimetre (l2-inch)
diagonal, high-resolution screen, housed in a light-
gray console. Oriving circuitry for the display unit
consists of all solid-state components mounted on a
circuit board next to the tube. Natural convection
cooling without a fan ensures the quiet operation
necessary for an office environment.
Bright, easily readable, Gothic-font, uppercase and
lowercase alphabetic, numeric, and special (+, -,
*,
etc.) symbols are formed as 5 x 7 dot-matrix
characters. Optional graphic symbols use the entire
7 x 10 character space. The screen capacity is either
twelve horizontal lines of eight characters per line
(960 characters) or twenty-four horizontal lines of
eighty characters per line (1920 characters). A
special-function bit accompanying each character in
memory specifies high or low display intensity or, as
a software flag, indicates a protected display field.
Cursor blinking is implemented through software
selection.
