INTRODUCTION

Section 1
INTRODUCTION
This manual introduces you to the Tel<tronix 41 05 Computer Display Terminal. It
explains the terminal's main features and tells you how to set it up to communicate
with ahost computer.
First, let's take alook at how to use this manual. When you see what's in each
section it will be easy for you to find the information you need to use your terminal.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
If you've never used aTektronix Computer Display Terminal before, we suggest
that you start by briefly looking through the entire manual to become familiar with
its contents. Then, go back and do the Getting Acquainted exemses in Section 2—
this section introduces you to the terminal's features and helps you get started with
'—some basic graphics. You don't need to connect the terminal to the host computer
to do the exercises.
'If you're an experienced user of Tektronix graphics terminals, we suggest that you
browse through the manual, paying particular attention to any information that may
'—be new to you. Then use the various sections of the manual as reference material
when you need specific information.
Appendix Ashows you how to connect the terminal to ahost computer and estab-
lish the communications link. It also shows how to connect various copiers to the
terminal and set them up.
Section 3will help you use the full power and flexibility of your terminal for routine
color graphics operations. It provides handy cookbook-style procedures for making
hardcopies of the display It also provides detailed instructions for using and cor-
reeling Setup commands. Finally, it gives you instructions for creating macros to
simplify routine tasks.

INTRODUCTION
Other sections of the manual are primarily intended to provide reference informa-
tion as you need it. Use the Table of Contents or the Index to find the location of the
specific information you need.
After you have used the manual for awhile, please fill out one of the reader reply
cards (in the front of this manual) and drop it in the mail. Your response will help
mal<e future manuals more useful for everyone.
RELATED DOCUMENTATION
The following manuals, which also came with your terminal, contain additional
information that you may need:
•4705 Computer Display Terminal Programmers Reference Manual —Intended
for programmers who will be writing or maintaining application programs for
host computer systems. It contains host programming information and detailed
descriptions of all 41 05 commands. This manual is also useful for 41 05 users
who need more information than is provided in this manual.
•4705 Reference Guide —This guide provides easily accessible information in
ahandy pocket-sized guide. It includes command syntax and condensed com-
mand descriptions for all 41 05 commands.
In addition, you can order aservice manual —refer to Appendix Ifor ordering
information.
4105 OVERVIEW
The 4105 Computer Display Terminal is amicroprocessor-controlled terminal that
is specifically designed to display color graphics and to edit text. The terminal
consists of two units:
•Display Unit— Th\s is the main unit of the terminal. It contains the display
screen, all of the terminal's electronic circuits, and connectors for the host
computer and peripheral devices.
•Keyboard —The low-profile keyboard has standard ASCII keys, arow of pro-
grammable function keys, anumeric keypad, and amultipurpose Joydisk to
scroll text and control the cursor that's used with graphics. The keyboard
includes snap-down legs to adjust its tilt angle.

INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
The 41 05 Computer Display Terminal is an excellent tool for displaying color
graphics and text. The following information describes some of its features.
Hjgh-Quality Color Graphics
•A64-Color Palette —The 41 05 contains apalette of 64 colors to choose from.
You can display graphics in up to eight colors, and at the same time, you can
display text in up to eight additional colors.
•Fill Patterns —The terminal also contains several dozen predefined fill patterns
to simulate textures and additional colors.
•Interactive Color Interface —This feature allows you to select and change colors
on the screen and immediately see the results of your color selections.
•High Resolution —The 4105 features 480x360 pixel (dot) resolution on a
13-inch color display screen.
•Large Addressable Space —A4096x4096 internal coordinate system provides
over 16 million addressable points.
•Pixel Operations —These commands give the programmer control of individual
pixels on the screen.
Graphics and Text
•Dual Purpose Display —You can display both graphics and text on the screen
at the same time. The graphics area displays both color graphics and text. The
dialog area holds text —your conversations with the computer and your com-
mands to the terminal.
•Independent Operation —Since it is both agraphics display terminal and afull
alphanumeric editing terminal, you can edit text in the dialog area without dis-
turbing the graphics area. The dialog bacl<ground can even be made transpar-
ent, allowing graphics to show through as though the dialog text were printed on
apane of clear glass in front of the graphics.
•Two Text Formats —The dialog area displays text in full 80-column format or in a
special 132-column format. In both formats you can scroll text vertically; in 132-
column format, you can also scroll text horizontally to view all parts of the dialog
area.
Graphics Support and Terminal Configuration
•TEK mode —This command set supports software that uses Tektronix 41 00-
style and 401 0-style escape sequences. Programs written for other Tektronix
41 00 and 41 1Series terminals can run on a 41 05 with minimal modification;
many will run unmodified.
•Setup —Using Setup you can configure the terminal's operating characteristics
by entering English-style Setup commands from the keyboard.
4105 OPERATORS 1-3

INTRODUCTION
Screen Editor Support
•ANSI and EDIT mode —Both of these command sets support ANSI standard
X3. 64-compatible screen editors that are commonly found on host systems
(similar to DEC VT1 00-style editors).
•VT52 mode —This command set supports DEC VT52-style screen editors.
•Color, an added dimension —When dialog area color is used in these editing
modes, it enhances the visual impact and adds another facet to the information
that can be presented.
Copier Support
•Color Copier Support —The terminal's copying capabilities let you make high-
quality color graphics copies using the Tektronix 4691 ,4692, and 4695 Color
Graphics Copiers.
•Monochrome Graphics Printer Support —The terminal can make fast mono-
chrome graphics copies using the Tektronix 4644 Dot Matrix Copier, the
Hewlett-Packard ThinkJet, or other printers that use Epson-style graphics.
•Text Printer Support —You can connect a dot matrix printer that uses a
Centronics-style parallel interface.
•Data Logging —You can use the AUTOPRINT command to cause dialog
between the terminal and host to be written automatically on an attached
printer.
Security
•Answerback —Application programs can control security with the answerback
feature: the terminal can be programmed to transmit aunique answerback
string when it receives the ENQUIRY command.
Verification Programs
•Self Test —This is abuilt-in program that automatically checks the terminal
each time you turn it on. In case of apower-up malfunction, the Self Test pro-
gram identifies the defective module.
•Extended Self Test —This program is also built into the terminal. It allows you to
perform many verification procedures from the keyboard.

INTRODUCTION
Special Features
•Nonvolatile Memory —You can save many of the terminal's settings in nonvola-
tile memory. The terminal remembers these settings even when it is turned off.
Then, when you turn it on again, the settings are just as you left them.
•Automatic Screen Dimming —If there is no terminal activity for five minutes, the
screen automatically dims to prolong the life of the display surface. Press any
key to restore the display intensity (the Shift l<ey is agood choice, since it does
not disturb the display).
•ROM Updates —You can install terminal ROM updates through an access
panel on the rear of the display unit.
•Local Graphics Processing —You can connect your 41 05 terminal to a41 70
Local Graphics Processing Unit for graphics processing and offline storage.
The 41 70 works like ahost computer by providing the processing power you
need to write, edit, compile, link, and debug graphics programs.
