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

analyzer whenever a plot is requested. The two digit sequence number is incremented by one
each time a lile with a default name is added to the directory.
You may want to plot various flies to the same page, for example, to show measurement data
traces for different input settings, or parameters, on the same graticule.
