Plotting Multiple Measurements Per Page from Disk
The following procedures show you how to store plot files on a LIF formatted disk. A naming convention is
used so you can later run an HP BASIC program on an external controller that will output the files to the
following peripherals:
• a plotter with auto-feed capability, such as the HP 7550B
• an HP-GL/2 compatible printer, such as the LaserJet 4 series (monochrome) or the DeskJet 1200C or
DeskJet 1600C (color)
The program is provided on the CD-ROM of example programs that is included in the programmer’s guide.
The file naming convention allows the program to initiate the following:
• to initialize the printer for HP-GL/2 at the beginning of a page
• to plot multiple plot files on the same page
• to send a page eject (form feed) to the hardcopy device, when all plots to the same page have been
completed
The plot file name is made up of four parts; the first three are generated automatically by the analyzer
whenever a plot is requested. The two digit sequence number is incremented by one each time a file with a
default name is added to the directory.
