Advantages and Features

Monochrome and Color Models

Two Twinax models are available - the Model LM-488C, a Logic Module with keyboard that supports any SVGA color monitor and the Model IS-488, for monochrome display (green, amber, paper white)..

Superior ergonomic design

Decision Data display units are easy to use, with high quality evident in its physical design, performance and user productivity.

Monochrome workstations consist of a 14-inch high resolution monitor of a non-glare screen available in green, amber or paper white. The products feature a small footprint, tilt and swivel movement, and support a slim-profile 122-key keyboard.

Color display logic modules are light and compact, hosting a slim connectivity card to provide space advantage. Units can be easily attached to a SVGA monitor and a 122-key or a PC keyboard to preserve customer's investment.

Efficient multiple and split screen display

Workstation efficiency gets a boost with Decision Data displays. All models have multiple display sessions and one printer session. The units also supports split-screen, simultaneous display of a reference screen with the active screen. The user can paste data from the active screen to the reference screen, where it can be saved or cleared for future reference, or pasted to other applications.

Versatile printing capabilities

The integrated parallel port enables a low-cost printer to be attached directly to DisplayWindow II workstations, for both host-addressable and local printing. You can select one of several pre-defined printer configurations, including Epson, HP LaserJet, and IBM. Or, use the Printer Definition Utility (PDU) to configure a user-defined printer. The PDU enables the user to change ASCII translation tables and add or delete printer commands.
