PREFACE

-Your

CONTROL

DATA®

790

ICEM

(Integrated

Computer-Aided

Engineering

and

Manufacturing)

Ergonomic

Workstation

is

a

tool

for

designing,

drafting,

and

recording

engineering

and

manufacturing

documents

and

information.

And

it

is

designed

for

operator

comfort

and

ease

of

use4

If

you

have

never

operated

a

CAD/CAM

(Computer-Aided

Design/Computer-Aided

Manufacturing)

system,

you

should

use

this

manual

to

become

familar

with

the

790

and

to

get

a

glimpse

of

what

the

workstation

can

do.

You

have

at

your

command

a

very

powerful

tool.

You

will

find

the

workstation

is

interesting

and

fun

to

use.

You

can

use

color,

move

lines

and

figures,

change

sizes,

change

perspectives,

dimension

drawings,

and

add

text

and

notes

easily.

Even

if

you

are

an

experienced

operator,

you

should

glance

through

this

manual

to

see

how

to

adjust

the

workstation

for

your

comfort,

to

learn

how

the

790

workstation

is

different

from

the

workstations

you

have

used,

and

to

notice

some

of

the

material

contained

in

this

manual

that

you

may

want

to

refer

to

in

the

future.

When

the

790

is

connected

to

a

remote

computer,

such

as

a

CONTROL

DATA®

CYBER®

120

or

CONTROL

DATA

CYBER

170,

by

a

direct

line

or

by

using

a modem

(a

device

that

connects

the

workstation

to

the

telephone),

numerous

application

programs

are

available

for

use

with

the

workstation.

An

application

program

is

a

program

with

a

specific

purpose,

such

as

mechanical

design,

printed-circuit

layout,

parts-list

generation,

etc.

You

will

be

using

the

workstation

with

an

application

program,

but

first

get

acquainted

with

the

790

by

going

through

this

manual.

GETTING

TO

KNOW

THE

WORKSTATION

Your

workstation

has

a

color

display

(sometimes

called

a

color

monitor)

and

a

text

display

(sometimes

called

an

alphanumeric

display

or

alphanumeric

monitor).

A

keyboard

is

attached

to

the

text

display.

You

will

use

the

color

display

to

see

drawings

as

they

are

created

or

modified.

By

typing

on

the

keyboard,

you

can

give

instructions

to

the

workstation

and

to

the

computer

associated

with

the

workstation.

Your

typed

instructions

will

normally

appear

on

the

text

display,

also

messages

received

from

the

computer

and

the

workstation

will

appear

on

the

text

display.

A

graphic

tablet

with

a

stylus

is

also

attached

to

the

workstation

and

various

overlays

may

be

purchased

for

the

graphic

tablet.

Printed

on

the

overlays

are

instructions

to

the

workstation/computer

system.

By

positioning

the

stylus

over

an

overlay

instruction

and

pressing

on

the

stylus,

you

can

send

the

.

selected

instruction

to

the

workstation/computer

system.

When

you

look

at

a

flexible

disk,

what

you

actually

see

is

the

case

covering

the

flexible

disk.

Inside

the

case,

there

really

is

a

disk

of

material

upon

which

information

(text,

numbers,

programs,

etc.)

can

be

magnetically

recorded.

The

disk

drive

rotates

the

disk

within~the

case

and

also

writes

information

on

or

reads

information

from

the

disk.

The

flexible

disks

received

with

the

workstation

have

microcode

written

(recorded)

on

them.

Microcode

is

a

short,

permanently

recorded,

computer

program.

Because

microcode

is

written

on

each

of

the

flexible

disks,

from

here

on

the

flexible

will

be

called

microcode

disks,

Two

There

is

a

and

a

TEKEM

a

microcode

flexible

disk,

number

510716-02.

(The

TEKEM+

disk

is

used

with

workstations

that

have

some

optional

performance

features.)

The

diagnostic

microcode

disk

contains

a

program

used

for

troubleshooting

the

workstation.

The

TEKEM

disks

tell

the

how

to

TENDER

LOVING

CARE

OF

FLEXIBLE

DISKS

Flexible

disks

are

somewhat

fragile.

They

are

especially

subject

to

damage

from

magnetic

fields

and

dirt.

When

not

in

use,

file

the

disks

in

a

place

where

they

will

not

be

exposed

to

magnetic

fields

or

dirt.

Smoky

air

or

air

containing

traces

of

chemicals

or

grease

can

damage

the

disks.
