Notable features are:

• Virtual HP-IL device HP7470A plotter added.
• New device configuration facility to add or remove virtual HP-IL devices or to change their tab position.
  

For other changes, improvements and bug fixes please visit the release download page or see the change log in the online documentation.

If you installed pyILPER with the recommended Anaconda Python distribution you will get the updated version with a:

Code:

conda update --all

See the Installation Instructions for further details.

Note:
This version of pyILPER requires version 1.7.6 of the LIFUTILS. See See the download page to obtain the latest version for your platform. The Windows installer now provides 32 bit and 64 bit binaries. If you use Windows (64 bit) please deinstall a previous version of the LIFUTILS manually before running the installer because the old 32 bit version is not removed automatically.

All feedback appreciated,
Joachim

Hi Joachim,
installed the new version on my MacBook and its running smooth but I have not fully tested this version, neither the plotter option. Thanks for your great work - wings the old times to new life.
My question is - is it possible to implement a video interface in the future. There exist programs they need a video interface in the loop and checks it - i.e. the MONITOR program in the DATA-ACQ module.
Another question, is it possible to simulate a MSDOS disc drive with pyilper? I want to use the program MSDOSXFR but it needs a SS80 formated drive.

thank you
Erwin
