The appendix F of the Data Acquisition Pac describes how to set up an alternate display. I can't test it because I don't have the HP 3421 so I would be happy to have your feedback for that tweak:

• Create a second terminal, give it the Tab name "Monitor". The HP-IL device name is "PILTERM(2)"
• Store the monset.bas below to the main memory of the HP-71

Hallo Joachim,

I tried your code - thank you (it's similar to the Terminal code in appendix F - oversaw this). The problem is, that like in the screenshot the new MONITOR (video) get no device ID as PILTERM(2). So it is not recognized by the system and the program. What I'm doing wrong in pyILPER?

With the CHANLIST program in chapter F it should not be necessary to use the physical HP3421A (except the run mode which needs the 3421A) - but the MONITOR program ends in an error 'ERR L60:Data Type' - can't find out the problem).

Code:

10 SUB CHANLIST(B1,B2,C(),E)
20 DATA 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0 ! SLOT 0
30 DATA 3,3,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 ! SLOT 1
40 DATA 3,3,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 ! SLOT 2
50 FOR I=0 TO 29
60 READ C(I)
70 NEXT I
80 B1=2 @ B2=1 @ E=0
90 END SUB

The MONITOR program make a call in line no 400 to CHANLIST

Code:

0400 CALL CHANLIST(B1,B2,C(),E) @ IF E=1 THEN DISP "No HP3421 Found" @ END

Running the MONITOR with the physical 3421A there is only the problem with the simulated 'new' video card.
