Introduction
What
is
a
data
terminal?
Terminus:
Lat.
Boundary
or
End.
A
data
terminal
is
the
connection
hetween you
and
a
computer.
It
is
not
a
corrputer.
It
is
a
connection
to
a
computer
and
transfers
information
fran
hurran form
(e.
9•,
letters,
nU1lt>ers,
etc.)
to
a
forrrat
corrputers
understand
(e.g.,
electrical
pulses).
There
are
three
Parts
to
a
Terminal:
The Keyboard, where you
enter
data.
The Video
SCreen,
where
the
Computer
outputs
data
in
visible
form.
The
Input/Output
Channels,
where
the
Terminal
communicates wi
th
the
Computer.
Vhen you
connect
a
Data
Terminal
to
a
power
source
and
turn
the
switch
ON,
nothing
really
happens
unless
the
Terminal
is
connected
to
a"Host"
corrputer.
A
Host
is
the
controlling
computer
in
a
rnultiple-computer
system.
Consequently,
the
cperation
and
caPabilities
of
your
Data
Terminal
are
limited
onl
y
by
the
li
mi
tations
of
the
Host
corrputer
--
your
Terminal
can
only
do
what
the
Host
can
do
and
no rrore!
For
instance,
your
Data
Terminal
cannot
store
programs
or
data
itself,
but
it
can
access
inforrration
stored
by
the
Host
System.
tbte
that
different
Host
Systems
operate
in
different
ways.
In
fact,
they
may
even
recognize
different
keyboards.
If
you
press
a
key
on
the
Terminal
when
it
is
connected
to
one
Host,
the
reaction
rray
he
totally
different
than
when
you
press
the
sarre
Terminal
key
when
it
is
connected
to
a
different
Host!
In
other
words,
the
specifie
q;>eration
of
your
Data
Terminal
depems
upon
the
Host
that
is
in
control.
Consequently,
good
Data
TerminaIs
(like
the
DT-I) must
he
designed
to
oPerate
with
a
variety
of
different
Hosts.
