The UTS 400-TE was an intelligent terminal with capabilities designed specifically for text editing, hence the -TE suffix. It was designed to be used in the typsetting industry and particularly compatible for the company's NEWSCOMP publishing system. The terminal was developed in the Advanced Communications and Terminals group in Salt Lake City UT. It's display design was an advancement over the simple adapters found in the mainline UTS terminals. Instead of FCC (Field code characters) the -TE had a 12-bit wide data path for the display memory and carried the character attributes with every byte. Advanced features (for the time) included scrolling, word-wrap, insertion and delection of arbitray length text and a variety of macro-style commands.

Category[edit]

Shouldn't the category be "block-oriented terminals" rather than "character-oriented terminals"? Peter Flass (talk) 01:45, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
