GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Lear Siegler ADM 12 Video Display
Terminal, shown in Figure 1-1, is a smart,
editing terminal designed for user
convenience. It can be used in either the
Conversational or Block mode of operation.
The non-volatile memory retains: the desired
set-up configuration, the information in the
16 programmable Function Keys (shiftable to
32), and the 6 Programmable Edit Keys
(shiftable to 12). All the terminal set-up
functions are soft-setable from the keyboard.
Function keys and Edit keys can be
programmed by the host or from the
keyboard. For added user convenience, the
ADM 12 offers three display memory
configurations: 24 lines by 80 characters, 48
lines by 80 characters, and 24 lines by 158
characters. The ADM 12 is also
ergonomically designed for maximum user
comfort. Its features include: a tilt and swivel
monitor with positive detents; a low-profile,
user-friendly,
DIN standard keyboard; a six
foot long coiled keyboard cord. Designed for
speed and versatility, the ADM 12 is ideal for
most data terminal applications.
1.2 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM 12 is used to enter, display, print,
and send asynchronous data. It is also used to
receive, print, and display data from an
auxiliary device such as a host computer. Its
most frequently liaed application is one in
which an operator interacts in a two-way
communication with a host computer.
However, in some applications the data
transfer may be unidirectional either from the
ADM 12 to the host or from the host to the
ADM 12.
1-1
The ADM 12 is a complete stand alone data
terminal consisting of a 12-inch (30.5 cm) or
optional 14-inch (35.5 cm) CRT Monitor Unit
and a detached, low-profile keyboard unit.
Each unit is contained in a strudy enclosure
which also houses the required electronic
circuits. Some of the features provided in the
ADM 12 are:
• Full 128 ASCII character set
• Three types of display memory
configura tions:
- 24 lines by 80 characters used for
general purpose terminal applications
- 48 lines by 80 characters for
applications such as word processing
-24 lines by 158 characters for
applications such as financial
reporting and spreadsheet
applications.
• DIN-standard keyboard, with:
- Numeric keypad with 14 keys
- Five separate cursor control keys
arranged in a cross pattern
- Sixteen programmable function keys
(shiftable to thirty-two)
-
Six programmable edit keys (shiftable
to twelve)
-
Cap lock key
- Status key
-Hold Screen key
-3-key rollover and 32 keystroke buffer
- User friendly layout and rib dividers to
reduce operator error
- Tilt mechanism
• On-Line or local modes
• Conversational or block modes
• Program mode

Answerback Memory
1.2.1 Keyboard
The keyboard, which meets DIN standards
for operator comfort, is attached to the rear of
the monitor with a 6-foot coiled cord to
provide complete keyboard mobility.
1.2.2 Primary (Modem) and
Auxiliary Ports
The ADM 12 comes standard with two ports:
the RS-232C Modem Port and Auxiliary Port
1-2
which are located at the back ofthe terminal.
The Modem (lIO) Port is the link, or interface,
that handles the flow of data in both
directions between the ADM 12 and the host
computer.
The Auxiliary Port permits the use of an RO
(Receive Only) printer when hard copy of
data is needed.
1.2.3 Set-Up Mode
The ADM 12 features a non-volatile Set-Up
Mode which allows the terminal parameters
to be selected through commands from the
keyboard or host. These parameters,
including baud rates, word structure, cursor
type, communications control, and operating
modes, can then be "saved" in memory, and
retained when power is shut off.
1.2.4 Programmable Function and
Edit Keys
The ADM 12 has sixteen programmable
Function keys (shiftable to thirty-two) and six
programmable Edit keys (shiftable totwelve).
The information user-programmed into these
keys can be saved in non-volatile memory.
1.2.5 Power Requirements
The ADM 12 can accept 115 VACor230VAC
+/ - 10%, 50 or 60 Hz. The voltage is factory set,
and must be specified at the time of order.
1.3 SPECIFICATIONS
The ADM 12 specifications are listed III
Table 1-1, page 1-4.
1.4 ADM 12 WORD STRUCTURE
The ADM 12 transmits serial asynchronous
data in a 10 bit format in the sequence: one
start bit, seven or eight data bits, one or no
parity bit, and one stop bit. Parity selection
(odd,
even, or no parity) is permitted only with
a seven bit data word. If an eight bit data
word is selected, then bit eight can be
designated to be either 1 or O. Parity selection
and the value of bit eight are defined via Set-
Up Mode.
