 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/27: CIA-RDP95-00972R000100170013-9
This document contains the user requirements
for a soft copy* computer terminal which will be
adopted as Agency standard for the period FY 78 to
FY 83. It was prepared by the ODP contingent of
the Terminal Requirements Working Group. The
Terminal Requirements Working Group, chartered
in April 1977, consisted of representatives from
most components of the Agency.
A primary input to this document was the
Terminal Questionnaire (Attachment I) that was
completed by members of the entire Working Group
during June-September 1977. Also considered was
the availability of terminal features in the
marketplace. This information was obtained from
the literature, discussions with users, and through
vendor presentations to the Terminal Requirements
Working Group.
A draft version of this document was distributed
for comments to the entire Working Group during
September 1977. Resulting comments were reviewed
by the ODP contingent of the Working Group.
An important assumption for the requirements is
that existing Agency Delta Data and some of the
other Agency terminals will remain in use until at
least FY 82. That is, existing terminals will
continue to service a large portion of the Agency's
terminal requirements for several years.
The requirements specified in this document
shall be used as input to a Request for Proposal
(RFP) to be generated by Engineering Division of
ODP for competitive procurement of terminals.
Much of the Section II and II of this document is
appropriate for direct inclusion into an RFP.
Additional refinement, from an engineering rather
than a user requirement standpoint, must be done
to the security/emanation and communication
portions of this document by Engineering Division
during the RFP generation period.
* As opposed to hard copy.

? The ODP mainframes.
? The NPIC mainframe.
? The DDO mainframe.
? The COMIREX Automated Management
System (CAMS) mainframe.
The CAMS terminal requirements
will be finalized in the future.
Preliminary requirements are
addressed either as mandatories
or desirables in this document.
The SAFE terminal requirements
will be finalized in the future.
In the context of this document,
the requirements stated in
Section VII of the 1 March 1977,
SAFE Functional Requirements
(See Attachment III) shall be
treated as desirables. Where
conflicting requirements exist,
this document, not the SAFE
Functional Requirements, shall
supercede.
Terminals shall be attachable to
other mainframes. Communications
shall be in TTY mode*. Examples
are terminals attached to the
COINS and DIAOLS systems. Not
included is the interface of the
Electronic Text Editing and
Composing (ETEC) system with
ODP mainframe which is currently
under study by ODP.

A. Vendor Presentations
Thirty four terminal vendors were invited to
provide information/presentations on their soft
copy terminal lines. This includes plasma panel
as well as CRT terminals. Twenty three vendors
responded and twenty gave presentations to the
Terminal Requirements Working Group on their
terminal line's features.
B. CRT vs Non-CRT Soft Copy Displays
Even though non-CRT soft copy displays,
including plasma panels, LED's and liquid crystal
displays, are gaining in popularity, CRT displays
dominate the alphanumeric display industry, and
are expected to do so for several years. Because
of the prohibitive cost of displaying large
quantities of data (e.g., 2000 characters) on non-
CRT displays, such devices are still a long way
from replacing the CRT.
C. Some Conclusions
CRT terminals or terminal lines do exist which
can be configured with relatively little development
to satisfy at least the responses of the mandatory
items in Sections II and III of this document. This
document does not presume that a single terminal
best satisfies all of the requirements in this
document. For example, two or more terminals within
a vendor's terminal line may best satisfy the
requirements.

Project SAFE Workstation (Terminal) Requirements
(Excerpt from: SAFE Functional Requirements, Dated
1 March 1977)
User workstations will consist of up to seven modular
components. Two or more modular components may be
combined to satisfy the needs of a given user. This
approach will facilitate cost/functional trade-off
analysis, cost-effectiveness, and reliability and
maintenance of each workstation. The modules avail-
able for a workstation include the following:
(1) interactive display module, (2) hardcopy image-
display module*, (3) receive-only, medium-quality
printer module, (4) receive-only, high quality printer
module*, (5) user keyboard module, (6) secure telephone*,
and (7) writing area, storage area for listings and
reference aids*.
Controls and indicators, technical requirements, and
functional requirements are documented for each module.
Functional requirements do not mean that a particular
function must be directly supported by the module under
discussion; rather, the requirements simply address a
means for a user to cause a given action to take place.
Whether that action is implemented in a particular
workstation component, the workstation as a composite,
a computer, or some other facility, is not relevant to
these requirements. Physical requirements for a work-
station are documented in paragraph 7.7; interface
requirements are documented in paragraph 7.8.
An interactive display module will be used for communi-
cating with the system and viewing the display of digital
data from the SAFE data base.
Controls and indicators provided with the interactive
display module will include but may not be limited to:
* Not applicable to the Agency Standard Soft Copy
Computer Terminal Requirements.

switch (if the module includes a buffer memory),
(6) POWER-ON indicator, (7) Transmit light to indi-
cate when the workstation is transmitting data to
the system, (8) ALERT-ALARM indicator which will be
activated by a remote computer, (9) ALERT-ALARM
reset switch, (10) MODE-OF-OPERATION switch, and
(11) GENERAL RESET switch.
7.2.2 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
The following describes the requirements that will be
met by each interactive display module:
(a) Phosphor Color - Characteristics will be chosen
to maximize user's visual comfort.
(b) Highlighting - At least three modes of selective
highlighting will be provided, one of which will
be character or field blinking. Other examples
of highlighting are reverse video, underlining,
and programmable brightness levels.
(c) Read/Write Rates - The workstation will perform
at read/write rates of approximately 1,000
characters per second.
(d) Screen Size - The minimum diagonal screen
measurement will be 12 inches, and the screen
will display a minimum of 2,080 characters
simultaneously, without discernible flicker,
arranged in a minimum of 26 rows of 80
characters each.
(e) Character Set - A 96-character set, uppercase
and lowercase, will be displayable. Further,
some interactive display modules will be
equipped with support for A Programming
Language (APL), and will require the capability
for user-dynamic selection of the APL or
other character sets.
(f) Field Selection - Support will be provided to
facilitate a user's dynamic selection of any
character(s) or screen position(s), by devices
such as a light pen or mouse.
(g) Function Keys - A set of programmable function
keys will be provided to support various technical
or functional requirements and user functions
required by individual users or user groups.

(h) Alert-Alarm Indicator - Support will be provided to
enable remote activation of the Alert Alarm indicator
whether the interactive display module is powered on
or powered off.
7.2.3 FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The following describes the functions that will operate on
each device:
(a) Operational Modes - Support will be provided to
operate the interactive display module in either the
overstrike or insert modes, as selected by the
operator. Overstrike causes the character typed in
at the cursor location to replace the existing
character in that position, and advances the cursor
one position to the right. Insert causes the
character typed to be placed at the cursor location
and, to make room, moves characters to the right
of and below the cursor. During insert operations
fullword wraparound is effected such that as
characters are pushed right by inserted characters,
and the maximum positions of the line are filled, only
full words are moved to the next line.
(b) Delete Character - Support will be provided such that
depression of the appropriate key will result in the
deletion of the character at the cursor location and
cause the text to the right of and below that location
to shift back and up to fill the gap, following the
rules of fullword wraparound defined in (a) above.
(c) Delete Word - Delete word will operate the same as
delete character except that an entire word is
deleted.
(d) Delete Line - Delete line will operate the same as
delete character except that an entire line is deleted.
(e) Move Block - Support will be provided such than an
arbitrary block of text displayed on the screen may be
defined and moved to another designated location on
the screen.
(f) Scroll - Support will be provided to facilitate
scrolling lines up or down, one line at a time. If
the scroll key (either up or down) is depressed for
more than one-half second, the scroll function will
be repeated until the key is released.
