The DM-0416-01C is a dc-plasma subsystem with character fields of 4 lines of 16 characters. The use of plasma technology provides a bright (90 fL typical) neon-orange display, with a wide 130° viewing angle. Using a 5x7 matrix of dots forms the display's characters. This format allows for the representation of 256 characters including ASCII fonts, numerals, punctuation, and commonly used scientific symbols.

The hardware design of the DM-0416-01C includes an on-board dc-dc converter which generates all the voltages required to drive the display and allows the subsystem to be operated from a single +5Vdc power supply. Also included is a microprocessor which serves display refresh and character input, and implements many editing control codes and commands.

The DM-0416 display subsystem is interfaced to the host system over a TTL level 8-bit data bus. ASCII character data or control words can be written to the subsystem, and busy status can be read by the host for maximum loading speed.
