The 3274 was gone from the Uni surplus this morning, but the HP 7596A
plotter was still there (going on two months). I asked what they could
do on the $100 price... $50 was their initial offer, then $25 after
the manager saw me fiddling with it to make it do *something* (some
yutz misloaded the pens and it was unhappy).
So now I have an E-sized pen plotter. It has serial and HPIB interfaces
and I'm looking for a quick-start reference guide. I've been googling
all morning and haven't found anything overtly helpful. I know that
I can get paper and pens from Western Numeric Controls, but manuals
are scarce as hen's teeth.
One quick question... how to I get a demo plot? I see the menu on
the internal LCD, but no combination of buttons seems to initiate
a plot. Reset is another option and it asks me to confirm, but,
again, I can't figure out what to press to confirm.
There's buttons around the LCD for menu navigation, a "dot" button,
eight pen buttons and some cursor-style direction buttons.
Thanks for any tips from a novice to large-format plotters (all my
experience has been with A/B-sized HP pen plotters).
