terminal

With the terminal (wait for phlegm) a terminal (a terminal, British:) computer terminal) is electronic or electric machine-type hardware and uses it though a user inputs and outputs data to a computer.
It is mainly a device comprising the user interface function for an operator and a user to use the computer.

The function of the normal terminal is limited to indication and the input of data.
I call the device that the programming of the data handling is possible an intelligent terminal or a Shin client in it simple substance.
I can operate the emulator of the terminal on a personal computer and can operate access to a local program and the remote host system at the same time.

It is connected directly with a large-sized computer (a general-purpose computer or a mainframe) and minicomputer and, in a device to operate it in an operative (driving) purpose, says with computer console or merely console.

A console (a console) and a teletypewriter terminal of the data entry / record use which arranged a switch for exclusive use of each function or indication were used by the operative control of the general-purpose computer once by hardware because I went.
The console which had the video indication terminal where I used a CRT display for built-in came to be used when I got possible to perform most of operative control by talks processing with the operating system later.
It is often that I realize a console function with today's Unix servers at a virtual terminal (later description) on the normal video indication terminal.
