Specifying Workstation Types

By default SPECTRA produces X output. But it is still possible to select Regis, Tek4014 or HiRes mode. The only hardcopy format is Postscript. The table 10.3 displays the code numbers of the workstations.

You can select a workstation by its code number.

VMS$ def xps_term 4
On Unix hosts the same is achieved by:
x4u2> export XPS_TERM 4

It is also possible to choose the workstation type inside SPECTRA:

SPECTRA> set term 4


Table 10.1: Workstation Types
Code Workstation
1 X Terminal
2 Postscript
3 Regis
4 Tek4014
5 HiRes


If SPECTRA does not run on the same node as the X server, it is necessary to specify the X display and authorize the client to connect to the server. The secure shell (ssh) does that automatically. For other connections this has to be done explicitly. See the corresponding section in the "What to do, if ... " chapter in section [*].
