HP75D with HPIL Message #1 Posted by Karel Kupka on 12 July 2012, 8:11 a.m. Dear, I have been using HP7470A plotter with HP71, HPIL and 82169A (HPIL/IB interface). I wanted to connect the plotter with my HP75D, but don't know how to address it. With 71B I use commands like: printer is :15 print "PDPU" Do you have any idea what to use instead in HP75's Basic? Thanks.

Re: HP75D with HPIL Message #2 Posted by Sylvain Cote on 12 July 2012, 3:06 p.m., in response to message #1 by Karel Kupka Hello Karel, From memory, you cannot directly address, from it's position in a loop, a device with the standard HP-IL commands of the HP-75C/D. You must first do an "assignio"and fill up hole in the addresses with fake names. setup: 1:HP82161A, 2:HP82169A, 3:nothing, 4:nothing, 5:HP7470A type: assignio ':ca,:ib,:x1,:x2,:pl' type: printer is ':pl' type: print "PDPU" If it's not working, I can configure your setup at home late tonight and make it works. I will suggest to change the plotter IB address to a lower one so you have less filling to do. Let me known if the above solution worked. Sylvain
