Merged data storage panel display

摘要

A multi-window display station having main frame (host) interactive and local personal computer display data buffers is provided. The outputs of the two data buffers are merged, using a row or swath buffer, according to default or escape codes stored in one of the data buffers and the combined output drives a plasma panel display. Registers for modified data tags and for presence/absence of escape codes speed the panel update process. Means are included to provide alpha-numeric and graphic windows together on the panel screen.
