PLOT Plot
Description
The PLOT 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.
The example routes the data to an external plotter; however, the controller can read the data
into a string if desired.
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.
The PLOT command should not be used within a DLP; you should use the
GETPLOT
command
instead.
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.
