The advantages of using low cost computer terminal for the Instructor Console on a real-time nuclear simulator are presented in this paper. The original Simulator Design Criteria called for a special Instructor Console Station, consisting of three color CRTs and a dedicated computer. This paper discusses the decision to replace the Instructor Console with low cost terminals (or IBM PCs) interfaced directly to the main simulator computer. This decision coupled with the modular design of the software provides many advantages, including less software development time, less hardware/software maintenance and multiple low cost terminal available for concurrent development, testing and training.
