Chapter 1. Introduction
The 1483 and the 1483DSV Enhanced Function Display Stations (hereafter referred to as the 1483) are ergonomically designed data entry display stations that offer a wide range of functions and applications. The 1483 can be used with a color monitor or a monochrome monitor. Each monitor has five selectable screen sizes (see the table below).
The only difference between the 1483V and the 1483DSV models is the operation in split screen mode. See the appropriate chapter description for mode of operation.
With a monitor that also meets the standard, the 1483 meets ISO 9241 Part 3 requirements.
This manual describes the 1483, identifies controls and operating procedures, and presents diagnostic and maintenance procedures that you can perform. The manual also introduces you to the 1483???s data entry and editing procedures.
As part of a system configuration, the 1483 can transmit and receive data from a central processor unit (CPU) via the attaching controller. You enter or change information on a keyboard that resembles a typewriter. Entered data is simultaneously displayed as alphanumeric characters and symbols on the screen.You can use Function keys to transmit entered data to the CPU or to recall data from the CPU to the screen. The unit can be configured for up to four screen sizes.
Hardware within the display station processes data during transmit and receive operations. Attachment of a coax printer via the controller or an optional local screen printer enables you to generate hard copy of all data displayed on the screen.

Operating Procedures
Alphanumeric Field
Numeric Field
Attribute Character
(not displayed)
Figure
Unprotected fields are classified as either alphanumeric or numeric. Alphanumeric fields can accommodate both alphabetic and numeric data characters. Numeric fields are controlled by the application program so that attempts to enter characters other than digits 0 through 9, a period, a Dup key, or a minus sign result in an error. On international keyboards, the comma can be entered instead of the period. The display station with a Data Entry keyboard automatically shifts into Numeric mode whenever the cursor enters a numeric field.
Data characters in unprotected fields also can be displayed as intensified (brighter) fields. In applications requiring the use of confidential information, both the protected and unprotected fields can be programmed to be nondisplayed fields.
Note: Use of nondisplayed fields precludes visual verification of entered data before transmission to the CPU.
Before you can begin to enter data characters, the display station must access the CPU and its application program. Access is usually achieved by using the Attention, Program Access (PA), Function (F), Clear, or Enter key, or through a series of

Keystroke Record/Playback
The Keystroke Record/Playback function enables you to reduce the number of keystrokes required for a frequently repeated entry such as a logon sequence or an address. Keystroke sequences can be stored for each of the Function keys. The combined total of stored keystrokes cannot exceed 7000 and the Shift key and Alt key each count as two keystrokes. The entered keystroke sequences are stored in nonvolatile memory, which means that the data is retained even if the power is turned off.
Calculator keystrokes can be recorded with the Record/Playback feature. Entering Calculator mode, importing data, doing calculations, exporting data, and exiting Calculator mode can all be recorded. The only limitation is that the status of the calculator (on or off) to begin playback must be the same as when the record sequence was started.

Operating Procedures
Cursor Select Data Entry
The Cursor Select key, CrSel, can be used to select certain data fields from a formatted screen. The application program must define selectable fields by writing the appropriate attribute. These data fields are read by the application program for additional processing.
Each selectable data field is preceded by an appropriate field attribute character and a designator character. Designator characters precede one of two types of fields: selection fields or attention fields. With the Cursor Select key, items in a selection field can be selected and then the program can be notified of the selection by selecting an attention field.
An unselected selection field is preceded by a question mark (?), which changes to a greater than symbol ( >) when the field is selected. Attention fields are preceded by an ampersand (&) or space. These symbols do not change when an attention field is selected.
To select or deselect a field, move the cursor to cover the appropriate designator character or any character in the field and press the Cursor Select key. The question mark preceding the field changes to a greater than symbol after the field has been selected. If you accidently select the wrong field, you can deselect it by pressing the Cursor Select key again in the same field. The greater than symbol preceding the field changes to a question mark after the field has been deselected.
For some programs, after you have finished selecting fields, press the Enter key to send the fields to the host application program for additional processing. The selected fields also can be sent by selecting an attention field designator character using the Cursor Select key. The ampersand and space characters designate attention fields. Move the cursor to cover any character in the field and press the Cursor Select key to send the attention field data along with data in any other selected field on the screen.
Exiting the Cursor Select operation depends upon the program in use. Refer to a user???s guide for your application for the proper procedure.

When a margin is redefined, the margin symbol is replaced by a symbol for the new margin. Tab stops and the
When data is entered between the margins, the cursor can be located over the left margin column, and data can be entered in this column. However, the cursor will wrap before it reaches the right margin column. Data cannot be entered in this column during normal typing.
Even though a margin is defined and the display is in Document mode, data still can be entered to the left of the left margin or the right of the right margin. The left and right margins are established to stop the cursor during normal data entry. The Cursor Left and Cursor Right keys allow you to move the cursor beyond the margins, where data can be entered and modified the same as between the margins.
Alternate Right Margin Type
The standard right margin remains in effect during Document mode whether the Word Wrap function (described on Page
When the right margin is disabled (the alternate right margin set and Word Wrap is turned off), the right side of the screen acts as the right margin and text wraps at the screen???s margin regardless of word divisions. When Word Wrap is turned back on, the right margin previously in effect is reinstated.
To give an existing right margin the alternate right margin attribute, place the format scale cursor over the right margin symbol, then press the Cursr Sel key. The greater than symbol ( >) turns into a broken vertical bar ( ?? ) indicating that the right margin is released when the Word Wrap function is turned off. To restore the standard right margin, place the cursor over the broken vertical bar and press Cursr Sel again. The greater than symbol returns to the format scale.
Tab Stops
Setting tab stops on the format scale allows the tab keys to function as they do on a typewriter, treating the defined column positions as tab stops. Once they are set, tab stops are used in Document mode by pressing the Forward Tab (

Word Wrap
The Word Wrap function is turned on and off in Document mode by pressing the F2 (Word Wrap) key. This parameter, like other format parameters, is saved when the display is removed from Document mode and returns to its last state when the display returns to Document mode. The Word Wrap symbol ( 
) indicates that word wrapping is in effect. When the function is on, text entry is subject to word wrapping between the left and right margins.
Word wrapping occurs when a word being entered would extend beyond the right margin. When the character is entered that would go beyond the right margin, the entire word is moved down one line and to the left margin. If a space is entered in the position one character left of the right margin, the cursor is moved to the left margin of the next line without word wrapping. If the cursor is one space left of the right margin and the Dup key is pressed, the Dup character appears on the right margin and the Dup function works as defined outside of Document mode.
The positions previously occupied by the first part of the word are replaced by space characters. When a word is wrapped to the left margin of the next line, any null characters to the left of the left margin are changed to space characters to preserve the format when it is sent to the host CPU.
Word wrapping does not occur unless the entire row onto which the word is wrapped contains only nulls or spaces. In some cases word wrapping cannot occur. In these cases, input is inhibited and the status row shows the Too Much symbol ( X 
). Press the Reset key for additional entry. The following conditions prevent word wrapping:
???The word takes up the entire length of the line.
???There is already text on the next line.
???The current line is the last line on the screen.
???The next line begins with a protected field.
Entry Assist
If the display is in Insert mode and a word is inserted on a line, any word pushed beyond the right margin may be wrapped to the next line if the next line contains enough spaces after its last word or its margins contain enough nulls to make room for the wrapped word. If the word cannot be wrapped onto the next line, input is inhibited and the Too Much symbol is displayed on the status row.
Move Cursor to Next Word (Autorepeat)
To move the cursor to the next word, press and hold the Alt key, then press the Cursor Right key ( 
). The cursor moves to the first character in the next word, or, if currently in a word at the end of a line, to the first space or null character following the current word. The cursor does not move into protected fields with this function.
The cursor is moved to the next word regardless of the location of the margins. If text is located outside the margins, the cursor moves to the text without recognizing the margins. The cursor wraps to the next row only when there are no more words in the current row. When the last word is reached on the last row, the cursor is wrapped to the first word on the first row of the display.
Continuing to hold down the Alt and Cursor Right keys causes the function to repeat automatically.
Move Cursor to Previous Word (Autorepeat)
Press and hold the Alt key, then press the Cursor Left key (
) to move the cursor to the beginning of the current word (or, if already at the beginning of a word, to the beginning of the word to the left). If the cursor is located at the first word on a row, it is wrapped to the beginning of the last word on the previous row. If at the top left position on the screen, the cursor is wrapped to the beginning of the last word on the screen.
Continuing to hold down the Alt and Cursor Left keys causes the function to repeat automatically.
Delete Next Word
The Delete Word key ( 
) is the alternate function of the Delete Character key ( 
) when the display is in Document mode. Pressing the Delete Word key erases the character at the cursor location and the remainder of the word to the right of the cursor. If the cursor is on the first character of a word, the whole word is erased. If the cursor is on a space or null, only the space or null is erased. Punctuation and spaces following a word are also erased (unless only part of the word is erased, in which case the space or null remains).
When a word is deleted, the cursor remains in place and subsequent data on the line moves to the left. Shifting does not occur for attributes, characters to the right of attributes, or subsequent lines of data. If deletion is attempted on an attribute or a protected field, input is inhibited and the Go Elsewhere symbol ( X 
) is displayed on the status row. Press the Reset key to enable additional entry.
Entry Assist
Cursor Tabbing
Pressing the Forward Tab key ( 
) causes the cursor to move to the next unprotected tab stop. Intervening unprotected null characters are converted to space characters to preserve the format when data is transmitted to the host CPU. If the cursor reaches an unprotected attribute before it reaches a tab stop, it will stop at the attribute. If no tab stops and no attributes are defined, the cursor moves to the top left position on the screen.
If there are tabs or unprotected attributes on the screen, tabbing does not allow the cursor to wrap from the lower right corner of the screen to the upper left corner of the screen.
For some programs, the introduction of additional data (in the form of nulls being converted into space characters) may cause problems. Programs should be verified for use with the tab function in Entry Assist.
Backtab Function
The Cursor Backtab function works like the Forward Tab function except that the cursor is moved to the previous tab stop or the first unprotected character of the current or previous field. Pressing the Backtab key (
) causes a backtab operation. Nulls are not changed to spaces when a backtab operation is performed. The cursor will not wrap from the upper left corner of the screen to the lower right corner.
Backspacing with Deletion
Pressing the Backspace key (
) in Insert mode deletes the character to the left of the cursor and causes the cursor to move left one character space. Characters to the right of the cursor on the same line are moved one character to the left. Attributes and characters to the right of attributes are not moved.
If the cursor is located at the left margin when the Backspace key is pressed, input is inhibited and the Go Elsewhere symbol ( X 
) is displayed on the status row. Press the Reset key to resume entry.
New Line Function
Pressing the New Line key ( 
) causes the cursor to move down one line and return to the established left margin. If the left margin is protected, the cursor moves to the first unprotected position to the right of the left margin. Unprotected null characters to the left of the left margin are converted to spaces as long as there are no fields between the nulls and the cursor.
If the cursor is on the last row of the screen and the New Line key is pressed, the cursor is positioned on the first row of the screen.
If there are no unprotected locations between the margins, the cursor moves to the left margin of the first row on the screen.

The field is also deselected after one of the Paste keys is pressed or if the session with the selected field is reselected with the Select Bottom or Select Top key. A session with a selected field is frozen and does not receive coax updates.
After you select a field as the source or mark field, use the Select Top or Select Bottom key to make the opposite session the active session, then move the cursor to the target field.
Paste Field
The paste field is the field that receives the data from the mark field and it cannot be in the same session as the mark field. The field that receives the pasted data must be an unprotected field. Standard data truncation rules apply when the paste and mark fields are of different lengths. If the paste field is longer than the mark field, data is replaced in the paste field only up to the length of the mark field. If the paste field is shorter than the mark field, data is truncated up to the length of the paste field. The data that has been pasted is temporary until you press an Aid key (Enter or F key), which means if you press a Select Bottom or Select Top key before you press an Aid key, the pasted data is lost.
There are three forms of paste operations: paste, paste horizontal, and paste vertical. All three forms paste data the same way, but paste horizontal and paste vertical select additional source and target fields after they complete the paste operation. The Paste Horizontal key selects the next field beneath the current source field and moves the cursor beneath the current target field. The Paste Vertical key selects the next field below the current source field and moves the cursor to the field below the current target field. This makes it easy for you to perform quick row and column data copying by selecting the first mark and paste fields and then running successive Paste Horizontal or Paste Vertical operations.

To select a field as the target field and paste source data into that field, move the cursor to the target field and hold the Alt key while you press the F5 key (Paste). The data in the source field is pasted into the target field. If there is already data in the target field, that data is overwritten with the data from the source field. See ???Mark,??? above, for instructions on how to select a source field. The target field cannot be in the same session as the source field. See ???Mark/Paste??? on Page
Paste Horizontal
To select a field as the target field, paste source data into that field, and then select the next source and target fields, move the cursor to the target field and press and hold the Alt key while you press the F6 key (Paste Horizontal). The data in the source field is pasted into the target field, the field to the right of the current source field becomes the new source field, and the cursor moves to the field to the right of the current target field. If the current source or target field is the rightmost field on the screen, the leftmost field on the next line becomes the new source or target field. If the current source or target field is the last field on the screen, the Mark/Paste function terminates. If there is already data in the target field, that data is overwritten with the data from the source field. See ???Mark,??? above, for instructions on how to select an initial source field.

If there is already data in the target field, that data is overwritten with the data from the source field. See ???Mark,??? above, for instructions on how to select an initial source field. The target field cannot be in the same session as the source field. See ???Mark/Paste??? on Page
Operating the Dual Screen Features
Mark/Paste
Use the Mark/Paste feature to copy data between sessions. With this feature, you can quickly mark and paste data between fields in different sessions.
Mark Field
The mark field is the field you highlight as the source data field. The data to be pasted must be within a displayed field. Data cannot be marked for pasting if it is in a nondisplayable field. Data can be pasted from protected as well as unprotected fields. You must select the mark field before you select the paste field.
To select the source or mark field, position the cursor anywhere within the field, then press and hold down the Alt key while you press the F4 key (Mark). The field is displayed in reverse video to indicate it is selected. If the Mark key is pressed while a field is already selected, the selected field is deselected. The field is also deselected after one of the Paste keys is pressed or if the session with the selected field is reselected with the Select Right or Select Left key. A session with a selected field is frozen and does not receive coax updates.
After you select a field as the source or mark field, use the Select Left or Select Right key to make the opposite session the active session, then move the cursor to the target field.
Paste Field
The paste field is the field that receives the data from the mark field and it cannot be in the same session as the mark field. The field that receives the pasted data must be an unprotected field. Standard data truncation rules apply when the paste and mark fields are of different lengths. If the paste field is longer than the mark field, data is replaced in the paste field only up to the length of the mark field. If the paste field is shorter than the mark field, data is truncated up to the length of the paste field.
