YOU AND
THE
4023
This information
will
provide
you
with
a
basic
understanding
of the
Tektronix
4023 Computer
Display Terminal,
and
help
in
its
operation.
When,
in
reading the following,
you
come
upon
an
unfamiliar
term
or
phrase,
refer
to the Glossary.
If
more
detailed
information
is
desired

General
The 4023 Computer
Display
Terminal
is
an instrument
which
enables
exchange
of information
between
people
and
computers.
The 4023
is
a
"computer
display
terminal" because
it is
the
starting
and
stopping point
for
information
to
and from
the
computer.
As
the
Terminal
operator,
you
will
need
to
know how
to use the
4023
effectively
to obtain, input, or
change
the
computer
information.
What The 4023
Is
Before
we
go
into
more
detail
about
the
4023,
it
might
be
a
good
idea to
review
some
of the
basics
of data processing.
The
following discussion
briefly
describes the part that
you and
the
Tektronix
4023
perform
in
processing
data.
"Data
Processing"
is
the
work
involved
in
processing the
information
or
records required
by your
company
to
conduct
its
business.
There's the
payroll,
the inventory, the
sales,
engineering,
and
others
—
depending on
the
particular
business
your
company
is
in.
The
data processing job
is
more
rapidly
and
accurately
performed by
using the
4023
connected
to
a
computer
system.
Data
Processing
First,
all
the data necessary to run
your company's
business
is
input to
the
computer
system,
where
it
is
stored
on
a
medium
such
as
magnetic
tape.
This data can be input to the
computer
using the
4023
keyboard.
