Unknown - Function
-
The visual display component of a computer terminal used to access and display data. This monitor is part of an automated tape cartridge library, in which the retrieval, storage and control of data tape cartridges is carried out by a robotic handler, permitting the mounting and demounting of the cartridges on tape drives without operator intervention. The monitor is the visual display component of a terminal placed inside the library enclosure for the use of a human operator during the manual operation of the library. - Technical
-
Part of a backup computer terminal for use when the robotic accessing system malfunctions. The manual mode terminal is placed inside the library enclosure to assist the human operator during operation of the tape library in manual mode, which occurs when there is a malfunction of the automatic (robotic) mode or during servicing. The library manager software uses the terminal to instruct the human operator as to which volumes to mount, insert and eject and to display the locations of the tape cartridges in the storage cells. The IBM 8518 colour monitor is the monitor designated for use with the library manager computer installed outside the library enclosure which contains the library manager software. This computer operates the tape library in the automatic mode and instructs the human operator by means of the manual mode computer in manual mode (Refs. 1-2). - Area Notes
