User Interface Terminal Familiarization
The UIT (User Interface Terminal) features a 33 key mem-
brane keypad and a four line display. Commands are issued
via the keypad and information is communicated back to
the user through the display. Through the UIT the operator
may position the plotter carriage, enable automated move-
ment, and manually cut and mark.
Commands are sent to the computer by pressing specific
keys or key sequences on the UIT. Each key on the UIT can
have a function and characters related to that key (note that
not all keys have both a function and characters). Com-
mands that require data entry following the pressing of a
FUNCTION key the UIT will automatically set itself in antici-
pation of the expected type of input.
Some commands require only one key to be pressed while
other commands require multiple keystrokes and may some-
times prompt the operator for input.
