HP82240B v1.07 is available at http://hp.giesselink.com.

Whats new:

• added simulation of the HP82240A type (with A-type Roman8 graphic font and disabling the ECMA94 font)
• fixed some characters in the B-type Roman8 and ECMA94 graphic fonts
  

Simulating the HP82240A is more or less a gimmick. I especially was interested into the Roman8 font differences between the A and B type. Before Sylvain Cote mentioned this in this forum some month ago, I wasn't aware of it.

You may test this by executing the self test << 27 CHR 254 CHR + PR1 >>

Excellent!

Any chance we might see a 2225 or 7470 simulator in the future?

Super!
Thank you Christoph for continuously updating and improving your fantastic emulators.

The KE5FX GPIB Toolkit includes emulation for the 7470a. Looking at the C++ sources, it seems that it could be adapted to HP-IL. For that matter, if you just dump the HP-GL to a file, the 7470a emulator can render the plot from there.

I'll give the latter a try and start a new thread if it holds any potential.

[Request]

1: use a pixelated font, as that present in hpuseredit



2: please can add a skin (on/off) to give more realism to simulation

What about adding a similar optional gimmick for the ECMA-94-based font? After all, the HP 49/50 and HP 39/40 character sets differ slightly from that of the HP 38/48 in regard to the euro character € at 0xA0 and the small superscript -1 at 0xB3. See:
