format when a
controller is
used
to
control
the
communications .
NOTE
Both communication options allow waveform plotting
through their communication port or through the X - Y
plotter output . Four different digital plotter or printer for
mats are
supported
via the
communications interface
.
They are : HP - GLO , Epsono ( both low - speed , double den
sity , and high - speed , double density ) , ThinkJet , and the

With Option 12 , a controller and an RS - 232 plotter
can not be connected to the oscilloscope at the

An X - Y
plotter may be
connected
to the
X - Y plotter output and used in conjunction with a

be connected
to the
oscilloscope . An
alternative to
disconnecting

device to
switch the
oscilloscope
between the controller and the printer / plotter . Plot

switches or menus of the oscilloscope .
Digital printer / plotter format can be selected two ways .
