Configuring a Plot Function
If You Are Plotting to a Pen Plotter
1. Press and then until
appears.
2. Configure the analyzer for one of the following plotter interfaces:
• Choose if your plotter has a GPIB interface, and then configure
the plot function as follows:
a. Enter the GPIB address of the plotter (default is 05), followed by .
b. Press and if there is no external controller
connected to the GPIB bus.
c. Press and if there is an external controller
connected to the GPIB bus.
• Choose if your plotter has a parallel (Centronics) interface, and then
configure the plot function as follows:
❏Press and then select the parallel port interface function by pressing
until the correct function appears.
— If you choose , the parallel port is dedicated for normal
copy device use (printers or plotters).
— If you choose , the parallel port is dedicated for general
purpose I/O, and cannot be used for printing or plotting.
• Choose if your plotter has a serial (RS-232) interface, and then configure
the plot function as follows:
a. Press and enter the plotter's baud rate, followed by
.
b. To select the transmission control method that is compatible with your plotter,
press (transmit control - handshaking protocol) until the correct
method appears.
❏If you choose , the handshake method allows the plotter to control
the data exchange by transmitting control characters to the network analyzer.
❏If you choose , the handshake method allows the plotter to control
the data exchange by setting the electrical voltage on one line of the RS-232
serial cable.
NOTE Because the handshake takes place in the hardware rather than
the firmware or software, it is the fastest transmission control method.
