Re: HP8903B - Plotting from HP-IB

If the outputs are analog, then an arduino doing the A/D conversion (pen lift active means ignore inputs).? Output those values on a serial data line to an off the shelf serial to USB converter and you're in.? If you want another option, then almost any of the ST-micro Nucleo 32 board setups would do the same thing (check specs, please) and have a virtual com port on the programming/USB interface.?

There's likely arduino sketches that may just do that already.

You'd have to handle the software (maybe) at the PC end.

Good day everyone,
I recently bought an HP8903B audio analyzer that has output terminals (X-Plot, Y-Plot, Pen Lift and GND) to connect an X-Y plotter that I don't have available.
I would like to ask you if it is possible to get the Plot output on the HP-IB port.
If it were possible, I thought of connecting the Prologic converter to the HP-IB port in order to have the HP-IB data converted to USB and connect a PC with an HP plotter emulator
Alternatively, is there an X-Y to USB plotter output converter?

Thanks in advance for the help.
