PrintCapture captures printer or plotter hardcopy output from your oscilloscope, logic analyzer, or spectrum analyzer and creates an image file on your PC

Equipment List

What test equipment have others used with PrintCapture?

The table below lists some of the test equipment that others have used with PrintCapture. If you have used something not listed below we would like to hear from you. We would also like to hear from you if you have used one of the models listed below with a different print mode or if you have additional information that you would like to share. Please send your information to support@printcapture.com.

When looking at the following list of test equipment you will notice that we used the term Hewlett-Packard instead of Agilent. The names are essentially interchangeable. If we mention a Hewlett-Packard 54616C it (probably) also applies to an Agilent 54616C.

PrintCapture 3.x added an I/O interface for National Instruments GPIB interfaces that use National Instruments' NI-488.2 device driver. NI's NI-488.2 device driver and GPIB interface must already be installed and working on your computer before it can be used by PrintCapture. If your computer has a National Instruments GPIB interface you will not need a GPIB-to-serial converter for your test equipment equipped with a GPIB interface.

One of our customers has developed a GPIB-to-USB interface that works well with PrintCapture. You can find out more about this interface at Prologix. Nice little product that works well and is a very good alternative to the pricey National Instruments or Agilent product lines. Its driver makes the USB port look like a serial port on your PC. We have created a PrintCapture-Prologix Setup Document that will hopefully help you configure PrintCapture and Prologix to work together.

Note of Interest: The use of PrintCapture has grown far beyond the initial target of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers. Customers are now using PrintCapture with many devices that we didn't envision or even know about.

Hewlett-Packard 1630D Logic Analyzer

GPIB interface. HPGL data format.

Hewlett-Packard 1631D Logic Analyzer

GPIB interface. PCL data format.

Hewlett-Packard 1650A Logic Analyzer

Serial interface. Select Alternate printer type on the HP RS-232 configuration menu. Select NONE for handshaking because XON/XOFF handshaking causes lost data. Set PrintCapture to hardware RTS/CTS handshaking. The 1650A prints very slowly so there is little chance of buffer overruns. Set serial parameters to 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stopbit, and no parity. The 1650A is a DCE so it plugs into the PC's DTE serial port using a generic straight-through 9-to-25 pin cable. Thank you, David F.!

GPIB interface. HPGL data format. You may have to use PrintCapture 3.2.20 or later to properly process the HPGL Output Commands ("Ox").

Hewlett-Packard 3563A Control Systems Analyzer

GPIB interface. HPGL data format. One customer's HP3563A evidently has firmware that still has HPGL debug and development output commands ("OP" and "OE") embedded through-out the HPGL data. PrintCapture can't process the output commands for these HP3563As. He solved his problem by running his HP7470A in parallel (no pens and no paper) with PrintCapture so the HP7470A responds to the commands and allows the HP3563A to send its data to PrintCapture.

Update: PrintCapture 3.2.17 and later should do a better job of processing the HPGL "Ox" output commands. See Setup> Configuration> HPGL Processing> Special HPGL Command Processing> Process Output Commands.

Hewlett-Packard 8564EC Color Portable Spectrum Analyzer

GPIB interface. HPGL data format.

Hewlett-Packard 8565E Portable Spectrum Analyzer

GPIB interface. HPGL data format.

Hewlett-Packard 8566B Spectrum Analyzer

GPIB interface. HPGL data format. Requires PrintCapture version 2.8.5 or later. A new control was added to Setup> Configuration> HPGL Processing> Process Output Commands> Process Output Commands that must be checked so PrintCapture responds to a command sent by the HP8566B. Customers have reported using National Instruments' GPIB-232CV-A GPIB-to-serial converter. You should review the GPIB-232CV-A configuration FAQ before buying one of these converters. Others have used National Instruments' GPIB-USB-B interface.

Update: PrintCapture 3.2.17 and later should do a better job of processing the HPGL "Ox" output commands. See Setup> Configuration> HPGL Processing> Special HPGL Command Processing> Process Output Commands.

Hewlett-Packard 8568B Spectrum Analyzer

GPIB interface. HPGL data format. Requires PrintCapture version 2.8.5 or later. A new control was added to Setup> Configuration> HPGL Processing> Process Output Commands> Process Output Commands that must be checked so PrintCapture responds to a command sent by the HP8568B.

You should review the GPIB-232CV-A configuration FAQ and the IC026A configuration FAQ before buying one of these converters.

Update: PrintCapture 3.2.17 and later should do a better job of processing the HPGL "Ox" output commands. See Setup> Configuration> HPGL Processing> Special HPGL Command Processing> Process Output Commands.

Hewlett-Packard 8569A Spectrum Analyzer

GPIB interface. At least one customer reported that the only way to get his HP8569A to work was to set GPIB address 31 for the plotter address. However, valid GPIB addresses are from 0 through 30, so GPIB address 31 is an illegal address. We never could get this resolved. The net effect is that it appears that PrintCapture won't work with the HP8569A. If you have any further information please let us know.

Hewlett-Packard 8569B Microwave Spectrum Analyzer

GPIB interface. One customer sent a raw data file from the HP8569B that was not HPGL, PCL, or Epson data. The raw data file looked like it was targeted at a specific non-HP plotter but no further information is available. The net effect is that it appears that PrintCapture won't work with the HP8569B. If you have any further information please let us know.

Hewlett-Packard 8590A RF Spectrum Analyzer

HPGL, PCL data formats.

Hewlett-Packard 8590B Spectrum Analyzer

HPGL, PCL data formats.

Hewlett-Packard 8590F Spectrum Analyzer

GPIB interface. HPGL, PCL data formats. At least one customer reported that they had to set PrintCapture's GPIB address to "Listen Only". PrintCapture is not able to process the data when the 8590F is set to send data to a PaintJet. We are researching the PaintJet data to see how we can add PaintJet processing.

Update: PrintCapture 3.2.3 added support for Paintjet (PCL color) data processing.

Hewlett-Packard 8752C RF Network Analyzer

GPIB interface. HPGL, PCL data formats. Use PrintCapture 3.x for best results. Evidently the data for a polar display format has to be scaled to produce a circular plot instead of an ellipse. Also of note: One customer used the 8752C successfully while another customer's 8752C evidently has firmware that still has HPGL debug and development commands ("OS" and "OE") embedded in the HPGL data. PrintCapture can't process the "OS" and "OE" commands for these 8752Cs.

Update: PrintCapture 3.2.17 and later should do a better job of processing the HPGL "Ox" output commands. See Setup> Configuration> HPGL Processing> Special HPGL Command Processing> Process Output Commands.

Hewlett-Packard 8753A Vector Network Analyzer

Hewlett-Packard 8753D Network Analyzer

GPIB interface and serial interface. HPGL and PCL data formats. At least one customer has an 8753D that generates HPGL data that can't be processed by PrintCapture. It seems that the customer's 8753D evidently has firmware that still has HPGL debug and development commands ("OS" and "OE") embedded in the HPGL data. PrintCapture can't process the "OS" and "OE" commands for these 8753Ds. Other customers are using their 8753D without problems.

Update: PrintCapture 3.2.17 and above should do a better job of processing the HPGL "Ox" output commands. See Setup> Configuration> HPGL Processing> Special HPGL Command Processing> Process Output Commands.

Hitachi VC-6545

HPGL data format. There are problems with this 'scope and PrintCapture. Evidently the VC-6545 inserts carriage-return/line-feeds into the HPGL data stream that PrintCapture can't filter out. And there are multiple HPGL scale commands (IP and/or SC) that PrintCapture can't process yet.

Humphrey Field Analyzer, Humphrey Filed Analyzer II

Parallel interface. PCL data format. These eye examination machines use soft fonts to program Hewlett-Packard LaserJets for output. PrintCapture version 3.2.1 is the first version to process soft fonts for the Humphrey Field Analyzers. You will need a parallel-to-serial converter to get the data into PrintCapture. A B&B Electronics (www.bb-elec.com) 232SPS2 parallel-to-serial converter will work and doesn't require a parallel-to-Centronics cable. An ATEN (www.aten.com) SXP-320A will also work. All ATEN parallel-to-serial converters (SXP-320A, SXP-325A, SXP-500) are available from Provantage (www.provantage.com). The ATEN converters are a little harder to use because you need to find a DB25M-to-Centronics36F parallel cable (DB25 Male-to-Centronics36 Female). These cables are a little harder to find but you might try a search on the Internet using the keywords "centronics 36F gender".
