This is a reference manual for the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Computer Visual System (CVS). 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 gray-scale or black and white hard copies. CVS provides processors for the construction of 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 executes on a Control Data Corporation (CDC) CYBER 176 computer under the NOS operating system. The user interacts with CVS through a terminal, entering commands from a keyboard and tablet. Currently, only the Advanced Electronic Design (AED) line of color terminals are supported for graphic input to CVS. As other terminals become available, modules to drive these terminals will be included.
