The following auxiliary connectors are available on the right side panel:
1.
GROUND:
Provides ground connection to the signal source chassis
ground when required.
2. SCOPE OUT
(vertical and horizontal): Provides analog output of selected
buffer contents to an external oscilloscope.
3. EXT PEN:
Provides external pen control during manually-triggered,
versus-chan3, direct recordings. A falling
TTL
level or contact closure to
ground applied to the connector lowers the pen; a rising
TIL
level or
opening the ground contact raises the pen.
4.
EXT TRIG:
Provides external triggering of recordings. With the external
trigger mode selected and a trigger search in effect, a falling
TIL
level
or contact closure to ground applied to the connector triggers the
recording.

Preparing the HP 7090 for Use
Setting up your HP 7090 is a simple procedure that consists of loading pens
into the carousel, inserting the carousel into its receptacle, turning on the
power, and loading the plotting medium. This section describes these
procedures.
To obtain plots of the highest quality, it is important to use pens and media
that are matched to your application. The fiber-tip pens provided with your
HP 7090 are designed for use with standard plotter paper. The top of each
HP plotter pen is marked with a letter and number in a calor that matches
the pen's ink. The letter denotes the media intended for the pen ("P" for
paper; "T" for transparency pens, which are also available). The number
specifies, in tenths of millimetres, the approximate width of the line that
the pen will draw.
The plotter paper provided is designed to provide clear line definition and
minimize distortion, skipping, and pen "bleeding." A 24-hour recording
paper is also available (see Appendix
D),
and can be used to further reduce
bleeding when plotting direct recordings of extended duration.
Plots can also be produced on transparency film using HP transparency
pens, although a pen speed slower than that used for front-panel plotting
