The APD-250M060 monitor consists of 250 character DC plasma display panel, drive circuitry, display controller, audible alarm, enclosure and illuminated control panel. The enclosure may be mounted on a flat surface or in a suspended configuration. Its large characters, wide viewing angle and high brightness (with an auto or manual brightness control) provides excellent visibility in a wide range of ambient light conditions from total darkness to bright sunlight. Interfacing is via RS-232D at 9600 baud with no handshaking (a FIFO buffer is used to capture data when the display is busy). The byte format is 1 start bit, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. As each monitor receives a data byte, it automatically sends it to the next unit in the daisy (up to 8 monitors maximum) chain. Returning data from the monitors are handled in the same way. A front panel bypass switch is provided to allow the operator to instantly route the input channel to the output channel in the event of a monitor failure. Single byte and two byte commands allow simplified code generation, yet accomplish complex display tasking such as scrolling or inserting lines and characters. The character generator is an 8K x 8 bit EPROM which has capacity for two 256 character sets. It is preprogrammed with two ASCII character sets (128 characters each including control codes). Other character sets may be factory programmed per the user’s special requirements. The audio alarm operation is under the complete control of the host system. The alarm is a warble of two tones which can be user adjusted. The volume may be adjusted by the operator from 65 to 85 dbA by a front panel control. User controls are power, self test, auto/manual brightness adjustment, I/O bypass, alarm volume control and alarm acknowledge. The APD-250M060 monitor is a DTE device and will operate with a host that is either a DTE or DCE type device. Interface is through standard DB25, RS-232D connectors.
