Advanced Pac Screen graphical HP-IL Video Interface - Michael Fehlhammer - 11-21-2017 12:23 AM For the above mentioned interface ( version 1.1 ), I'm searching for documentation ( see also my thread in classifieds). People who have got the original manual might be very few and might not read here, but maybe anyone can provide a (link to a ) copy? RE: Advanced Pac Screen graphical HP-IL Video Interface - Jurgen Keller - 11-21-2017 07:37 PM I once started to convert my APS 1.1 manual to a web site (with permission of Wilfried Kötz), however, I've never finished that project. The current state is available here: http://pacscreen.fjk.ch/aps11.html Anyway, I have the manual and could scan it to a PDF file (including OCR). Not sure yet how promptly I can do that ... RE: Advanced Pac Screen graphical HP-IL Video Interface - Michael Fehlhammer - 11-21-2017 09:26 PM Hello Jürgen, thank you for the link! So I can get an idea of this interesting device right now, even before I hold in in my hands. Regarding making a pdf- copy of the manual: I understand that you might not want to spend a lot of time at the copier; you could send me the manual ( I can send you a deposit for your safety ), do the copying and return it. Then we would have a pdf-file (only); unfortunately I don't have any experiences with OCR. But I guess the pdf - file can be "ocr-ed" afterwards. RE: Advanced Pac Screen graphical HP-IL Video Interface - Jurgen Keller - 11-21-2017 10:04 PM I just dug out the manual and already "disassembled" it for easier scanning. I have a FUJITSU ScanSnap iX500 which makes the scanning process quite fast. However, as I'm a picky person I will post-process the images such that the manual can be reprinted in acceptable quality. I hope the web page will keep you busy in the meantime. RE: Advanced Pac Screen graphical HP-IL Video Interface - Jurgen Keller - 11-25-2017 02:24 PM Done :-) I've also sent it to TOS. Enjoy! RE: Advanced Pac Screen graphical HP-IL Video Interface - Michael Fehlhammer - 11-25-2017 04:19 PM Great, Jürgen! The quality of your Scan is amazing. Thanks a lot! By the way: I've got the upgraded version of Advanced Pac Screen 1.1, the W&W Masterface, based on Advanced Pac Screen 2.0. In the manual an examples disk is mentioned, and unfortunately not all examples are listed in the manual. Do you - or anybody else - happen to have this floppy disk? RE: Advanced Pac Screen graphical HP-IL Video Interface - Jurgen Keller - 11-25-2017 07:16 PM I also own an Advanced Pac Screen 2.0, boxed. However, there was no floppy disc included and, unfortunately, I don't know anybody who got this disc. So it's time to write some cool example programs ourselves :-) RE: Advanced Pac Screen graphical HP-IL Video Interface - HP-Collection - 11-25-2017 07:26 PM Indeed, none of mine came with a floppy....

Hopefully, someone will emulate it. |
