Conference ·
OSTI ID:7236052
Software was planned and written to convert the Hewlett--Packard Model 9830 Programmable Desk-top Calculator for use as a batch-type terminal to communicate with the CDC 6600 at Sandia Laboratories that is using the NOS operating system. The basic capabilities are automatic sign-on and sign-off procedures, file transfer from 9830 to NOS (6600) via phone lines at 1200 baud, file transfer from NOS to 9830, and automatic transfer and plotting of ''DISSPLA'' files with instantaneous turnaround. The capabilities of the system are described.
