The host CPU can send commands to its terminals to define how the video display will be printed. An example is a display using highlighted areas for data entry. The A/S-4 can perform this type of display presentation for almost any terminal. In operation the A/S-4 intercepts the host video commands and translates them into the commands that the attached VDU needs to perform the function.

If you are using special displays then you must use selections B, C and D to set up your display attributes. Consult your VDU users manual to determine which characters are used to create the type display you need and enter those characters in the fields as needed.
