A real HP41? Yes, of cause using the HP-IL module.
I do not know about a virtual HP41 that may take the role of controller in a virtual IL loop so far.

Ciao.....Mike

yes, a real HP41....

I think that that plotter has a rs232 interface (I have still to find out, I ask to a a friend of mine), but I remember that it had a RS232 large connector interface (or a centronics?). I used it 20-25 years ago for printing ANDO OTDR optical measures and really I don't remember now if it was directly connected to the instrument or through a PC connection.

Now, to connect it to the 41 needs a HP-IL module and what else?
how I can get the loop?
