The GE Data Editing Display terminal was introduced in December, 1964. It was intended for remote data editing and display.[1]
The unit was designed to facilitate the rapid entry and correction of alphanumeric data, allowing operators to visually verify data before transmitting it to a central computer system. The terminal featured a cathode ray tube (CRT) display and a specialized keyboard. According to contemporary technical bulletins, the device could be used in conjunction with GE's Datanet-series controllers and the GE-400 or GE-600 series computers.[1]
The display provided a means for textual information to be manipulated locally, reducing the processing overhead on the mainframe for simple clerical tasks. In its standard configuration, the display supported a character resolution of 46 columns by 26 lines.[1]
