[comp.terminals] Tektronix 4115B - what is it?

cudat@warwick.ac.uk (J M Hicks) (11/30/89)

Does anyone know anything about the Tektronix 4115B terminal?

What terminals is it compatible with?  What can it do?  Is
there an emulator program for it for a desk-top computer?

Someone has asked me about an emulator for this terminal.  We have
an emulator for several kinds of Tektronix graphics terminals,
but not this one, it seems.

Many thanks for your help.

I received the following reply to my enquiry about the Tektronix 4115B
terminal:-

=========

The Tek 4115B was a high res(1280x1024) bit-mapped graphics processor
we produced from 1984-1987. Its main power was in its vectors per second
performance, 2-D image transformation, and CAD applications. Thousands of
these units are still in use all over the world. Any Tek graphics based
termcap should work for this box, or if a "terminal only" mode is desired,
the "code mode" can be set to vt100 via the setup command driver.
