Printing the screen of a HP 70206A System Graphics Display to a PC

Printing the screen of a HP 70206A System Graphics Display to a PC

(OP)
Hello,

    I am trying to print the screen of an old "HP 70206A" System Graphics Display to a computer via a HP-IB/GPIB port.  In the operation manuals I have found for the HP 70206A, there is no directions on how to print the display to a computer except for a slight reference under "Plot" that says:

    "Refer to the [PRINT] command for instructions on using this command when a computer is on HP-IB." (Page 2-49)

    http://www.home.agilent.com/upload/cmc_upload/All/70206-90030.pdf

    I am hoping someone can help me find some way of creating a digital copy of the screen without having to physically print a page and scan it.

        -Eric

RE: Printing the screen of a HP 70206A System Graphics Display to a PC

A quick google indicates that the 70206A was originally intended to do a raster print to one of the original HP injet printers (i.e. Designjet 70).

A little more investigation show others have already done this type of print capture to a PC:
