I would guess that the strip info would have to be displayed on the radar screen.Is the Aussie TAATS system like this?
The system looks like this. http://www.airwaysmuseum.com/ML%20AA...%20console.htm

The far right screen is the aux display, in which you can see two columns of electronic strips. Some strip fields are 'local' i.e. if you enter data in them they can only be seen at that console. Other fields are 'global', i.e. anyone that brings up that strip on their console can see them.

For most purposes the Main and Aux Displays can be treated as one display, with windows able to be moved from one to the other as desired. The cursor also cunningly moves across from one display to the other simply by moving the mouse off the edge of the display.

The radar tags on the main display can have additional text (e.g. headings) entered into them by simply clicking on them and typing. Anyone within the FIR can see the data entered, whether approach or enroute.
