Plotting Multiple Measurements Per Page From Disk; Plot Filename Convention - HP 8753E User Manual

Plotting Multiple Measurements Per Page From Disk

The following procedures show you how to store plot files on a LIF formatted disk. A naming
convention is used so you can later run an HP BASIC program on an external controller that
will output the flies to the following peripherals:
a plotter with auto-feed capability, such as the HP 7550B
n
an HP-GL/2 compatible printer, such as the LaserJet 4 series (monochrome) or the DeskJet
n
The program is contained on the "Example Programs Disk" that is provided with the
HP 8753E Network Analyzer Programmer's
program to initiate the following:
to initialize the printer for HP-GL/2 at the beginning of a page
n
to plot multiple plot flies on the same page
n
to send a page eject (form feed) to the hardcopy device, when all plots to the same page have
n
been completed
The plot file name is made up of four parts; the first three are generated automatically by the
analyzer whenever a plot is requested. The two digit sequence number is incremented by one
each time a tie with a default name is added to the directory.
You may want to plot various files to the same page, for example, to show measurement data
traces for different input settings, or parameters, on the same graticule.
1. Define the plot, as explained in "Defming the Plot Function" located earlier in this chapter.
2. Press m &@#. The analyzer assigns the first available default filename for the
displayed directory. For example, the analyzer would assign PLOTOOFP if there were no
previous plot illes on the disk.
3. Press [Save/Recallj and turn the front panel knob to highhght the name of the tile that you
just saved.
to the A character.
