GETPLOT
Get Plot
Description
The
GETPLOT
command transfers the trace data, graticule, and annotation of the spectrum
analyzer screen to a plotter via the spectrum analyzer interface (softkey labels excluded). The
data is transferred in ASCII, HPGL format.
Before executing the downloadable program that contains
GETPLOT,
you should do one of the
following:
n
Disconnect the computer from the spectrum analyzer.

Or,

n
Send the following BASIC commands:
ABORT 7
LOCAL 7
ABORT 7 instructs the computer to release control of the HP-IB, and LOCAL 7 allows you to
control the spectrum analyzer from the front panel.
When using the PLOT command, the scaling points (Plx, Ply;
P2x,
P2y)
can be specified.
These scaling points specify the (x,y) coordinates, which determine
the
size of the plot.
(Plx,Ply)
refers to the lower-left plotter coordinates.
(P2x,P2y)
refers to the upper-right
plotter coordinates.
Note The HP 7470A plotter does not support 2 plots per page. If you use an
HP 7470A plotter with an HP 8590 Series spectrum analyzer, you can select one
plot per page or four plots per page but not 2 plots per page.
