SECTION 10
CRT KEYBOARD CONSOLE
This section describes the functions, character­
stics, operating procedures, programming con ­
siderations, and normal operator maintenance of
the DKU9101 CRT Keyboard Console (see Figure
10-1).
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The DKU9101 consists of a CRT display unit
with a detachable keyboard unit permitting flex ­
ibility of operation and placement. The CRT
interfaces with the Level 6 processor by means of
a single Multiple Device Controller (MDC91 0 1)
and a CRT Device-Pac (KCM9101).
Manually entered data and processor-generated
inquiries and responses are displayed on a 12-inch
cathode ray tube. With a display of up to 960
characters (12 lines, 80 characters per line) and a
60 frame-per-second refresh rate, the display
projects clear, bright, easily-read information.
The console keyboard utilizes solid state, high
reliability switches as keys. The keyboard permits
the entry of variable data and program param­
eters. The 60 keys can generate 128 characters of
the ASCII code set (see Figure 10-2). The
characters include 26 alphabetic, 10 numeric, and
32 special symbols. Also included are 12 control
keys.
A special entry marker (cursor) appears on the
console display screen to indicate the location of
