The
IBM
3164
ASCII
Color
Display Station
is
a general purpose
asynchronous
ASCII/ISO
display
station
that
is
designed
to
attach
to
both
IBM
and
non-\8 M systems. It consists
of
three display station elements:
1. A
video
element
with
a
high
quality
14-inch
color
CRT
2.
A
102-key
low
profile keyboard
3.
A
logic
element.
The
video
element
is
ergonomically
designed
with
a
tilt
and
swivel
stand and
has a direct etched,
anti-glare
screen. The keyboard element
is
specifically
designed
for
use
with
asynchronous
ASCii/iSO
systems and provides such
ergonomic
features
as
tactile feedback
to
the operator. The
logic
element
provides
host
attachment
via an
RS-232C
communication
interface
(for
Model
11)
or an operator selectable
RS-232C/RS-422A
communication
interface
(for
Model
12)
on the main port.

The
IBM
3164
is
a
high-function,
ASCII display station
of
the
IBM
316X
family
which
offers such features
as
menu set-up, definable
function
keys,
split-screen, and character and field attributes. It also has such
functions
as
smooth scroll,
windowing,
paging, redefinable keys and double-size
characters and
is
compatible
with
the
IBM
3163.
It
is
also able to emulate the
IBM
3101,
which
allows easy transition for users
who
already have
an
IBM
3101.
Users can
switch
from one machine mode to another
without
changing the
present software, and also obtain the advantages
of
the
IBM
3164.
The
highlights
of
this display station
are:
Improved ergonomics
• Tilt and swivel display
• Etched/dark screen to reduce glare
• Enhanced keyboard
• Brightness control
• Compact size.

Display-station elements
The display station
is
made
up
of
three display-station elements:
• the video element
• the logic element
• and the keyboard.
The other items shipped
with
the display station
are:
• video cable
•
power
cord
• keyboard overlay to be used on the
function
keys
• stand
• manuals.
The modular design
of
the display station enables easy set up and relocation,
without
the help
of
IBM
service personnel.
The video element has a
14-inch
color
screen for displaying numeric
characters, alphabetic characters, and symbols keyed in from the keyboard or
sent from the host system. These images can be displayed in 8 colors (red,
green, blue,
yellow,
magenta, turquoise, black, and
white).
The
top
24
lines,
each containing
up
to
80
characters,
are
used for displaying data; the last
(25th)
line
is
used for displaying messages from the host system or operator
messages generated
by
the display station. The stand attaches
to
the base
of
the video element when you set
up
the display station, enables you
to
tilt
your
video element
up
and
down,
and
to
swivel it
to
the left and
right
for
comfortable
viewing.
The logic element controls the various
functions
of
your
display station. It has
a main port
for
communicating
with
a host system directly or via a modem,
and
an
auxiliary port for connecting a printer or terminal. The main port uses
a
25-pin
female connector for connecting
an
RS-232C communication
interface
(for
Model
11)
or
an
RS-232C/RS-422A
communication interface
(for
Model
12).
The auxiliary port uses the
25-pin
female connector
for
connecting
an
RS-232C communication interface.
