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
to the following peripherals:
n
a plotter with auto-feed capability, such as the HP
n
an compatible printer, such as the LaserJet 4 series (monochrome) or the DeskJet
or DeskJet (color)
The program is contained on the “Example Programs Disk” that is provided with the
HP 8753E Network Programmer’s
The naming convention allows the
program to initiate the following:
n
to initialize the printer for HP-GL/2 at the beginning of a page
n
to plot multiple plot on the same page
n
to send a page eject (form feed) to the hardcopy device, when all plots to the same page have
been completed
The plot name is made up of four parts; the three are generated automatically by the
analyzer whenever a plot is requested. The two digit sequence number is incremented by one
each time a
with a default name is added to the directory.
