IBM 1483DSV manual Operating the Dual Screen Feature, Installation Requirements

Chapter 9. Operating the Dual Screen Feature

With the 1483DSV Display Station, you can display and operate two sessions on one monitor in either a side-by-side format or a zoomed session (that is, one of the two sessions occupies the entire display surface and you toggle between the two sessions). You can also copy fields from one session to the other, in either side-by-side format or zoom format. Dual screen sessions are supported on a display configured as a Mod 2, 3, or 4.

Installation Requirements

In addition to the installation requirements in this section, see Chapter 2, “Customer Installation,” for additional installation information.

Controllers

To support Dual Screen mode, the controller must be configured for two or more logical sessions on the display terminal’s port. In addition, PC File Transfer mode must be set for those ports that use the mark/paste function of the 1483.

Display Requirements

The 1483 dual screen feature is provided by a special software program on the main logic board. The display station must be in either Mod 2, 3, or 4 mode to be able to exercise the enhanced dual screen features.
