IBM 3741 DATA STATION OVERVIEW
The IBM 3741 Data Station is part of the 3740 Data Entry
System. The tBM 3741 Data Station is a key entry device
used to record data on a data recording medium called the
I BM diskette.
Model 1 (Figure 1) is a standalone device which has one
keyboard unit, one display unit, one or two diskette units,
and a control unit. Model 2 (not pictured) is the same as
Model 1, with the addition of a binary synchronous com-
munications adapter.
Once data has been recorded on the diskette by the 3741,
the data can be transmitted to another location through the
use of binary synchronous communications. For Model 2
only, or for Models 1 and 2, the data can be:
• Converted to tape by using the IBM 3747 Data Converter

• Processed by the 3741 Programmable Work Station Mod-
els 3 or 4
• Used with the IBM 3540 Diskette Input/Output Unit
which provides direct input capabilities to a System/370
• Printed by the 3713, 3715, or the 3717 Printer
Note: The 3741 Programmable Work Station, Models 3 and
4, operates as a 3741 Data Station, unless the Programmable
Work Station is under Application Control Language (ACL)
program control. When operating as a Data Station, the
Model 3 has the same functions and available features as the
Model 1; and the Model 4 has the same functions and avail-
able features as the Model 2. See IBM 3741 Models 3 and
4 Programmable Work Station Programming Reference
Manual, GA21-9194, for information on the 3741 Program-
mable Work Station, under ACL program control.
