HP 3562A data and plot file formats?


 

I assume that plot files are HPGL, but does anyone have docs on how the data files are made up?

Irfanview (for windows, 32 or 64 bit) with the CADIMAGE plugin, will read HPGL files it is said.

Once you have them, you can then save in any other supported format.


Similarly, there seems to be a plugin "PLT" for Gimp that runs under Linux.


There are no doubt many other programs and tools that can handle HPGL to print/plot or translate into some other "modern" format if you need.


I'm sure too, that a bit of Googling will let you discover the internal format of HPGL files as well.

Yes. HPGL files are no problem, the binary files are. But I have at least located the Keysight utilities:?https://www.keysight.com/fi/en/lib/software-detail/instrument-firmware-software/keysight-model-35670a-sdf-utilities-sw443.html
