6-4. 
The 
Model 7475A uses microprocessor-based logic 
to convert digital instructions into a  graphic plot. The 
microprocessor receives instructions from either 
an 
inter-
nal 
ROM program or 
an 
external controller through 
the 
I/O 
(input/output) circuits. 
It 
then 
issues 
data 
to 
the 
pen 
drive 
and 
paper 
drive motor servo systems 
and 
the 
pen 
down circuit to produce 
the 
plot. Figure 
6-1 
is 
a simplified 
block diagram 
of 
the 
7475A plotter. 
6-5. 
The 
two drive motors 
are 
reversible  de  motors. 
Encoders 
on 
each 
motor 
transmit 
rotation 
data 
back 
to 
their 
respective servo IC. One motor drives grit wheels 
which move 
the 
plotting medium, while 
the 
other motor 
moves 
the 
pen across 
the 
plotting surface.

There 
are 
two optional 
I/O 
(input/ 
output) circuits 
available for the Model 
7475A. 
Option 
001 
is the RS-232-C/ 
CCITI' 
V.24 
serial interface.  Option  002  is 
the 
HP-IB 
(Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus) parallel 
data 
interface 
which is compatible with 
IEEE 
standard 
488-1978.

RS-232-C/CCITI' 
V.24 
INTERFACE 
CffiCUIT (Option 
001) 
6-8. 
The Option 
001 
I/O 
(Input/Output) 
is 
an 
asyn-
chronous  full-duplex  bit-serial  interface  for  hardwired 
connection to a  computer or terminal. Interface connec-
tions are shown on 
the 
schematic 
diagram 
at 
the 
end 
of 
this section. This interface is compatible with 
EIA 
Stand-
ard 
RS-232-C 
and 
with CCITI' 
V.24. 
Input 
and 
output 
are 
controlled 
in 
the 
7475A 
by 
the
