DISPLAY TERMINAL

The Display Terminal screen (7) is an output device for the GPC and displays alpha-numeric information received from

the GPC. The Display Terminal keyboard (8) is an input device for the GPC and is similar to a standard typewriter

keyboard. The Display Terminal directs the user by showing pages of written information (9) with prompting statements

or questions (10). The prompt (10) is followed by a blinking cursor (l ) when the computer requires an input from the

Instructor/Operator. He responds to the prompt by entering the required data at the keyboard (8). When the data is

typed in, it will appear on the screen next to the prompt (II). If an error is made, the typed data can be deleted and

corrected symbol by symbol. To correct, the DELETE key on the keyboard (8) is pressed and the proper number or letter

entered. When the correct data has been typed in, the RETURN key must be pressed to enter the data in the GPC

before operation can continue. The Keypad (12) is used to initiate an input to the GPC to record commands issued

verbally by the students during training exercises. The Keypad (12) also provides one key inputs to control exercise

performance; such as, starting/stopping, playing back part of the exercise, repeating the exercise, analyzing

performance, or printing a display on the Terminal Printer (13).
