A TV GRAPHICS DISPLAY FOR THE MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE
Abstract
The paper describes a graphical display system based on TV raster scan. Refresh signals to the TV monitors are supplied by a dedicated CAMAC module containing a digital store with one storage element per pixel. The display memory is supported both with firmware in a CAMAC display controller and with s graphics software package in the host computer. The intelligence built into the display controller relieves the host computer from the trivial tasks of the display generation. Combined with the interactive facilities of the NODAL interpreter and special devices for operator input the system offers an easy to use yet flexible interactive graphic display system suitable for industrial control applications.
