247.0. "LVP16 plotter help ?" by CURRNT::DAW (VTX does it with pages !!) Mon Jun 05 1989 16:55

    Hi all,
    
    the customer support team have wiped the dust from their LVP16 plotter,
    and are considering plotting the monthly graphs using it.
    
    What I'd like to know is:
    
    1. Can you connect the LVP16 directly to a terminal i.e. like an
    LA75 companion printer ?
    
    2. Can ReGis graphics files be sent to the plotter ?
    
    3. Does anyone have a manual for an LVP16 which I could borrow ?
    
    Can anyone help ?
    
    Regards,
    
    Rob

	Rob, Yes you can run an LVP16 from a terminal provided you've got a schmart terminal and the correct leads to drive it. If you're thinking of running it from a VT300/VT200/VT100 terminal then I would suggest it's not going to be easy/possible. VAXMATE - should be able to with right cables, but in PC mode, not in VT emulation. Have you considered bunging it onto a GPX/Microvax that has a DHV11 on it. You could make one of the ports dedicated to the LVP16 and send all your plots to a VMS queue name. I know this works because I've done it myself and still have a procedure to set up the port. I also have an LVP16 manual.
