Plot to a File Using the AGILENT 35670A

The AGILENT 35670A has the ability to route plotter output to a file. If the file is named with a “.HGL” file extension, then Word will recognize this file immediately as an HP Graphics Language file.

Set up plotter output to a file

Press the [Plot/Print] hardkey.

Press the [PLOT/PRNT DESTINATN] softkey (F4).

Select the [OUTPUT TO FILE] softkey (F4).

Press the [OUTPUT FILENAME] softkey (F5).

Press the [CLEAR ENTRY] softkey (F9).

Enter P1.HGL and then press the [ENTER] softkey (F1)

Insert a 3.5” Disk into the AGILENT 35670A and ensure DEFAULT DISK is

INTERNAL DISK:

Press the [Save/Recall] hardkey.

Press the [DEFAULT DISK] softkey (F9).

Press the [INTERNAL DISK] softkey (F3).

Plot to file “P1.HGL”

Prepare Trace Titles and Plot Titles as described in the section “Plotting and Printing Trace Data.”

Press the [Plot/Print] hardkey.

Press the [START PLOT] softkey (F1).

Inserting Picture of an HP-GL Plot File Into a MS Word document.

To import the plot file into the Word document, follow these steps:

Insert the 3.5” disk with the plot file “P1.HGL” into a PC.

Open a Word document

Select Insert Picture

Click on the “Look in” arrow to change directories

Select A: (3½ Disk)

Double-Click on file “P1.HGL”

Word will automatically detect that it is an HP-GL file, because of the

.HGL file extension, and import the graphic directly.
