Offering ten "A-card" slots, the "10K4T" is the middle-range System 10 "A-sized" mainframe. It is intended for high-speed front-end data acquisition and logging applications where a moderate number of transducer inputs and analog/logic control signals are involved (up to 80 analog I/O, up to 160 logic I/O), but where auxiliary communications or digital data processing functions such as "history" recording are not required. Like the "10KU" mainframes, the Models 10K4TA and 10K4T-KD allow optional DC-powered vehicle operation. The Model 10K4T-KD (shown above) has a front-panel keypad and two-line LCD "billboard" display (described below). When equipped with the Satellite Operation ("S") Option, the 10K4T-KD may act as a standard "node" within a System 10 Satellite Network.
The following diagrams show the basic physical layout of the "10K4T" mainframes.

The Model
10K4T-DA (shown left) has a front-panel 8-line, 12-channel vacuum
fluorescent (VFD) display (140 x 35 mm; see the typical display shown below). Up to 40
individual VFD "pages" can be created and stored. Each
page can be dedicated to up to twelve user-specified data channels.
Display of system TIME and DATE is automatically included, along with
per-channel limit-status indication: an ARROW following the data
reading points UP for a "HI LIMIT" violation, DOWN for a
"LO LIMIT" violation, and LEFT for an "OK" (no
violation) value. A four-character unit legend for each channel's
"live" reading can be entered. A simple

Through simple keypad entries, the operator of a Model 10K4T-KD mainframe—or a Model 10K4TA with the Model 10DIS4T Display Option—can invoke instant "live" readout of a selected system channel or bit on the unit's convenient two-line LCD "BILLBOARD" display, and can also set bits to desired states. Channel display includes a user-specified engineering-unit legend of up to four characters.
The integral keypad greatly simplifies system setup by letting the operator review in sequence all basic "configuration parameters" for any selected channel or bit, for the system itself, or for the mainframe's Computer Interface Port. The specific parameters displayed for a given data channel will depend on the channel's "type" designation. A channel or bit sequence may in turn be "stepped" through an entire range of channels or bits.
Parameters involving only numerical values (decimal or hexadecimal) may be immediately reset via the keypad, as prompted by a cursor in the billboard.
In addition, there's a connector in the rear of the 10K4T-KD mainframe for plugging in an optional Extended or Operator's Keyboard (not supplied with the mainframe itself). This allows rapid manual entry of any standard command recognized by the system. The front-panel LCD will display any and all keyboard command entries, and all system responses to keyboard-entered interrogations.
A special "FUNCTION" key lets the operator communicate any of up to five prespecified command MNEMONICS to the system, thus allowing entry of selected commands from the keypad alone.
