When a host computer and a terminal are connected with an RS-232C, the DXY-1000
series can be connected between them. This is called a Y-connection and performs the
following functions: it can transmit data from the host computer to the terminal, it can
transmit data to the plotter for drawing and it can permit the terminal to monitor the data
while drawing is under way.
