P 7470A First determine which kinds of commu nication interfaces are available for your computer If your computer supports an RS 232 C CCITT V 24 interface or an ANSI TEEE 488 1978 HP IB interface then it probably can be interfaced to the HP 7470A Read the manual that describes the communications equipment for your computer and then determine how information is sent and received Next read either Chapter 9 or 10 in the HP 7470A Interfacing and Programming Manual depending on which interface you re using to get a better understanding of how information is sent and received by the plotter In the RS 232 C environment pay particular attention to the cabling requirements between the computer and the plotter Then choose a computer configuration in this guide that appears similar to yours and use this as a guideline for creating your own communication verification program What If My System Configuration Doesn t Match the One in the Guide There are many variables in computer systems Often substituting one piece of hardware or software for another can cause communication problems Therefore if you re going to make substitutions be aware that these may affect the operation of the system or the communication verification program If you are having problems getting your system to work with substitute hardware carefully read the manual on the substitute equipment Try to identify the difference between the hardware you are using an
