hp 7475a

[Frank Gentges]

Alex,

While its usefulness is going down, some HP test gear has built-in code 
to drive this plotter to make plots of spectrums etc without having a 
computer involved. For example, I have an HP 8569B.  I also have a 7475B 
with the HPIB interface so I can plot out the screen.

There was a fellow that was selling new pens for HP on eBay although not 
at the present time.  I think they were made by a third party and were 
much fresher than HP NOS pens.  Also, you may be able to adapt current 
writing pens to the plotter but I have not done this.

It is probably worth keeping around either for yourself or for some HP 
equipment owner that can use it.  I have several of these plotters just 
in case......  but then I am a bit of a pack rat.
