COLOR ENHANCEMENT OF TELEMETRY DISPLAYS

Abstract

This paper will describe the enhancement to the man-machine interface brought about by the use of color CRT’s in a real time, de-centralized telemetry processing system. The use of a microprocessor controlled telemetry system allows equipment set-up and various data outputs displayed using an off the shelf intelligent color terminal. The use of color annotated messages and graphics allows a more effective interaction between the operator and the system.
