Product Enhancement

On May 16, 1983 Lear Siegler enhanced its popular ADM Series with the addition oftwo new display terminal models, the ADM 11 and ADM 24E. These displays were shown publicly for the first time at the 1983 National Computer Conference in Anaheim, California June 13-16. The terminals introduced a new ergonomic design for LSI's terminal line. They provide a smaller footprint, a display tilt (50 forward to 10°

0 back of vertical) and swivel (360 ) mechanism, and a low-profile detached keyboard with a tilt mechanism. Both models conform with the DIN standard for ergonomics.

The ADM 11 is a conversational-mode "dumb terminal". It includes a 12-inch display, a 1920-character screen capacity arranged in 24 lines of 80 characters each (plus a 25th status line), business graphics (block graphics, wide point graphics, and line drawing character set), and four visual attributes (blink, blank, reduced intensity, and reverse video). The keyboard contains four function keys (shiftable to eight functions), a numeric pad, a cursor control pad, and rib dividers to separate the three keypads. Edit functions include clear screen and erase line/page. The ADM 11 carries an end-user price-tag of $695.

The ADM 24E is an ergonomically-designed version of the ADM 24 smart terminal. The ADM 24E provides the user with the same physical design as the ADM 11 (although the footprint is a little bigger), including the same low-profile keyboard design. Important features of the ADM 24E include a 48-line display memory with a 24-line window to scan memory, horizontal split screen, extended visual attributes, and full editing features. The ADM 24E is priced at $1,250 in single quantities. 0

Lear Siegler's ADM 24E contains the company's new ergonomic styling. The display tilts and swivels; the keyboard is detached, has a low-profile design with a tilt mechanism, and conforms to the DIN standard for ergonomics.
