Chapter 1.   Introduction
The 1483 and the 1483DSV Enhanced Function Display Stations (hereafter referred to
as the 1483) are ergonomically designed data entry display stations that offer a wide
range of functions and applications. The 1483 can be used with a color monitor or a
monochrome monitor. Each monitor has five selectable screen sizes (see the table below).
The only difference between the 1483V and the 1483DSV models is the operation in
split screen mode. See the appropriate chapter description for mode of operation.
With a monitor that also meets the standard, the 1483 meets ISO 9241 Part 3
requirements.
This manual describes the 1483, identifies controls and operating procedures, and
presents diagnostic and maintenance procedures that you can perform. The manual
also introduces you to the 1483’s data entry and editing procedures.
As part of a system configuration, the 1483 can transmit and receive data from a central
processor unit (CPU) via the attaching controller. You enter or change information on a
keyboard that resembles a typewriter. Entered data is simultaneously displayed as
alphanumeric characters and symbols on the screen. You can use Function keys to transmit
entered data to the CPU or to recall data from the CPU to the screen. The unit can be
configured for up to four screen sizes.
Hardware within the display station processes data during transmit and receive operations.
Attachment of a coax printer via the controller or an optional local screen printer enables
you to generate hard copy of all data displayed on the screen.
