This is a reference manual for the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Cyber Visual System. The manual contains a summary of the operation of the CVS program and describes the hardware requirements. It explains the main features and operation of the program as well as how to communicate with the host computer. CVS is a high performance color graphics system. This system enables color pictures to be generated and edited on a color raster terminal and subsequently output as 35mm color transparencies and grey-scale or black and white hard copies. CVS provides processors for the construct word slides, tables, charts, and sketches. Commands for the creation and editing of images are entered by picking items from menus displayed on the terminal screen. The CVS program executed on a Control Data Corporation (CDC) CYBER 176 computer in a NOS/BE environment. The user interacts with CVS through a color terminal. There is no requirement as to the brand of color terminal. However, only drivers for the AED line of terminals are currently available. As other terminals become available, new driver modules will be added.
