TEST.RGS Test file of ReGIS commands
Two additional DEC-supplied files are required: QIOSYM.MSG, which
should be in directory LB:[1,2], and IECIO.FTN (supplied with the
IEC-11 driver), which should be in directory LB:[1,1]. If these
files are in other directories, edit the source files appropriately
(QIOSYM.FTN or RHP.FTN respectively).
The driving of the plotter is all carried out through the subroutine
IEEE (entry points IEEINI, IEEWRT and IEEEXI) in RHP.FTN. Note that
an HPIB address of 9 for the computer and 31 (i.e. listen only) for
the plotter are assumed. To change the computer address, change
parameter COMADR in routine IEEE (in file RHP.FTN). To use a different
interface (e.g. RS232), only this routine need be changed.
