# Tek4010 Emulator
|
||
|
||
Tek4010 is an emulator for Tektronix 4010/4014 graphics
|
||
terminals. It reproduces the behavior of the original
|
||
storage tube display, including realistic drawing speed
|
||
and the true fading of the drawing spot over time.
|
||
|
||
This makes it possible to experience historical plot
|
||
files and legacy Unix systems as they originally behaved.
|
||
|
||
▶️ Watch the emulator in action:
