ScreenLinKiColor GraphicsDevelopmentSoftware andOnline System

DescriptionFor host computer applications,the ScreenLinktu DevelopmentSoftware is the fastest, easiest, andmost advanced screen editlng soft-ware package ever devised for thedevelopment and dynamic linkingol industrial control color graphics.

Additionally, the ScreenLinkOnline SYstem is a color graphicsterminal with added intelligenceand ScreenLink Online Softwarethat greatly otfloads your host com-puter during online operation.

The innovative DeveloDmentSoftware was designed to con-serve your manpower. With ab-solutely no programming skills orknowledge ol special commands,your personnel can build all of thesophisticated graphics displaysneeded lor your system ln just afew hours. And then, in a shortperiod ot time, the plant personnelfamiliar with your computer's database can lully link the displays toyour control system. The result isthat you reduce the time fromdisplay creation to online perform-ance by 90 percent or more.

The online oerformance ofScreenLink is also spectacular. TheScreenLink Online SYstem acceplsvariable names and engineeringvalues as update data, and per-forms all conversion operationsthat change the data to properlyformatted screen information. Thiscapability not only greatly reducesthe tlme needed for developinglinked displays, it also dramaticallyreduces host workload while online.

Prcducl PerformanceThe ScreenLink Development Soft-ware is comprised ol two time- andmoney€aving prog rams- Thesesoftware programs have specialhardware requirements, as notedin the System Configuration sectionof this sheet.

ScreenLink Display Editor - amenu-driven graphics editor thatrequires no programming for thedevelopment of displays. lt cutsdevelopment time substantially.This software is available lor theIDT ScreenLink SYstem as well asother hosts such as the IBM PC XTor AT.

Screenlink Dynamic Editor -another menu-drven editor thatlinks the displays created with theDisplay Edilor to your host com-puter's data base, dramaticallyreducing the time normally neededtor this linking process. This soft-ware also runs on both the IDTScreenLink System or other hostssuch as the IBM PC Xf or AT.

The ScreenLink Online System isa special configuration of the IDT22OO or 2250 C-nlot Graphics Ter-minal that includes the ScreenLinkOnline ODtion. This ootion includesthe newly enhanced, high-speedIDT Input Processing Module(lPM-165) for additional processingcapability and a special softwareprogram, the ScreenLink OnlineSoftware.

Screenlink Online Software -this unioue online softwaredramatically reduces the hostoverhead that has traditionallybeen required for color graphicsdisplays. lt converts host data toscreen intormation for picture up-dates. The Online Software runs onan IDT ScreenLink Online System.

ment and linking stages cutdisplay development and linkingtime from months or weeks todays or hours - with concurrentlabor savings.

. Over 100 builtin "help" files pro-vide self-training, and give usersat all skill levels easy access toediting help, whenever it isneeoeo.

- Creation and modification of pic-ture elements and displays isimmediate and interactive: nowaiting for complex programsto recompile.

- Hlgh resolution, true pixelgraphics provide crisp, easilYrecognizable displays for betteroperator comprehension andresponse.

. The availability of the DynamicEditor eliminates the need for ex-pensive, customized software thatis normally required to link thegraphics displays to the hostcomputer's data base.

- Since these software packagesrequire a microcomputer or IDTScreenLink System, graphicsdevelopment may be conductedon a stand€lone system. Thlsfrees your host computer forother uses, and allows early orparallel development of displaysduring the project cycle.

- Support for advanced IDTgraphics features allows users totake full advantage ol all IDTgraphics capabilities to achievemaximum customization ofdisplays. This results in more el-fective communication with thefactory operators as they easilyrecognize lhe customizeddisplays.

Fealures of theScreenlinkOnline System. Utilizes a simole host protocol for

sending updale information to theterminal. No special terminalcommands are sent by the hoslcomputer.

- Dramatically reduces hostworkload. Nrost color graphicsupdates have required 40-60%of the host's CPU time. IDT2200/2250 C,olor GraphicsTerminals have always requiredless than half ot the computeroverhead of other terminals. Nowthe ScreenLink Online Slstemrequires only 1-5% of the host'sCPU lime to operate.

. By converting the host's data(variable identifier and engineer-ing units) to screen informalion,ScreenLink not only reduces hostoverhead, but also increasesdisplay update speed by requiringless data transmission.

. Because the ScreenLink softwaredoes most ol the work, there isno need for a customized devicedriver for the IDT color graphicsterminals.

System ConligurationThe ScreenLink DevelopmentSoftware can run on an IDTScreenlink System, or on otherhost devices such as theIBM PC Xf or AT. For onlineoperation, the ScreenLink OnlineSYstem is required.

The IBM PC syslem con-figuration lor running theScreenlink DevelopmeniSoltware is as follows:. An IBM PC XT or AT with 256K

RAM, running PC DOS (Revision2.1 or above), and an Asyn-chronous CommunicationsAdaptor.

- An IDT 2200 or 2250 videogenerator with 512x512 dot-addressable graphics, bubblememory and the full complementof IDT graphics features. Thlsvideo generator can be convertedto a ScreenLlnk Online Systemwith the addition of theScreenLink Online Option.

. A 19" flicker-free high-resolutioncolor graphics monilor suppliedby lDT.

- 105*ey full-lravel display develop-ment keyboard with its ownScreenLink overlay.

- Optional Trackball for increasedpicture development speed.

- To convert the IDT eouiDmentused with the lBN/| rc to aScreenLink Online Slstem, theScreenLink Online Option isavailable. This option includesthe newly enhanced, high-speedIDT Input Processing lvlodule(lPM-16S) with a 16-bit micro-processor and operating systemand the ScreenLink OnlineSoftware.

The IDT Screenlink Systemruns both the ScreenLinkDevelopment Sof tware andthe ScreenLink Online Solt-ware. lts configuration is asfollows:- An IDT 22OO o( 2250 video pro-
