Digitized waveforms may be transmitted to an external device for printing,
plotting, storage, or waveform analysis. Every instrument is equipped with
an auxiliary connection for an analog
X-Y
plotter. Most applications, however,
require either a GPlB (Option 10) or RS-232-C (Option 12) interface.

Transmitting Waveforms
The RS-232-C or GPlB interface is usually ordered as factory installed;
however, you can order either interface separately for installation on existing
instruments. (Only one interface can be installed in the instrument at a time.)
The two interface options are depicted in Figure 3-45 and Figure 3-46.
