Controlled
by an advanced "10BCP" Central Processor, this versatile "B-sized"
mainframe features an internal 12-inch active matrix TFT (Thin Film
Transistor) color display (see Specifications).
Like
all "B-sized" mainframes, the 10KN8A supports multiple
individually configurable large-scale data displays in vivid color
(like the one shown below), with adjustable update rates
from 1 to 60 Hz. VGA-resolution displays may be
instantly composed, edited, and saved by the operator, in the field, via
simple "word-processor" keyboard entries—even while the
measured test or process is running. Up to 100 unique
non-scrolling page formats may be created and stored for any given
mainframe.

VGA
output can be transmitted directly to any external monitor capable
of receiving it. VGA/SVGA input can be received directly
from any external VGA ANALOG CARD. You can toggle between the
display of "internal" System 10 video page formats and
externally-sourced video screens by a simple keystroke or on application
of a simple mnemonic command. Click here
for more details on System 10 large-scale video capabilities,
including run-time composition and storage of up to 100 custom "video
pages."
Two
"V-card"
slots for optional video-related cards are provided.
This allows for formatted hard-copy output
and/or high-speed bargraph display, if desired.
The
Model 10KN8A contains two slots for user-selected "B-cards."
This lets you configure your System 10 for such functions as
Eight
"A-card"
slots for user-selected signal conditioners and special-function cards are also provided.
The
following diagrams show the basic physical layout of the 10KN8A mainframe.
