The Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications (LHNCBC) has supported a program to develop an Advanced Terminal System (ATS) to provide a low-cost integrated system to improve the effective production and delivery of computer assisted instruction (CAI). The ATS has multiple modes including PLATO V emulation, stand-alone system under the support of the CAI language, PILOT, and operation as a standard ASCII terminal. The ATS is able to service multiple communications protocols including PLATO and ASCII, contains full PLATO commensurate graphics locally, and can support the uploading/downloading of programs/data to/from a host system. These capabilities permit the ATS to augment the available CAI systems without adding overhead to those systems. The User's Guide describes the various software subsystems which comprise the ATS to enable the end user to operate the ATS.
