Tektronix 4010 and 4014 Storage Tube Terminal Emulator

This is a Tektronix 4010, 4013, 4014 and 4015 terminal emulator for the Raspberry Pi and other Linux systems.

Below is a screen shot of the spacelab from the ICEMDDN CAD package made on a CDC Cyber 175 mainframe emulator.

tek4010 can also display historical data for the MIT Project MAC 's ARDS (Advanced Remote Display Station):

tek4010 makes an effort to emulate the storage tube display of the Tektronix 4010, including the fading bright drawing spot. If the look and feel is not important, you can use "xterm" instead. "xterm" does not support all graphics modes of the 4014.

It can be used to log into a historical Unix system such as 2.11 BSD on the PiDP-11 or a real historical system. It can also be used to display historical plot data.

The following picture shows a scale model of the Tektronix 4010 crafted by Dave Ault using tek4010.

All instructions can now be found in Manual.pdf in the main Tek4010 directory.

Version 1.8 or above has a much improved handling of the bright drawing spot, but requires also more computer power. See chapter 14 of the manual if tek4010 runs sluggish on your system. This might be the case if you run tek4010 remotely using vnc, or on a Raspberry Pi 3.
