Example for the HP-IB Interface
This example illustrates how you can use a softkey to plot the spectrum analyzer display, and
then have the plotter perform a page feed. (Not all plotters support the page feed command,
however.) This example assumes that the plotter is at address 5 and the spectrum analyzer is at
address 18. (This example is only valid for HP 9000 series 200 and 300 computers.)
