Summary
The display console allows rapid presentation of information, easy reference to previous work, screen editing of text, and dynamic display of graphs and histograms. The display console is used in many different ways, suggesting a separate screen for each use. Possibilities are multiple display consoles, partially displayed windows, split screens, undisplayed alternative screens, and scrolled screens. Multiple CRTs are heavily used in control systems.
