pyILPER 1.4.0 with HP7470A emulation

[jsi]

I published a beta version of the upcoming pyILPER version 1.4.0 on GitHUB. The most notable changes are:

• Virtual HP-IL device HP7470A added
• New device configuration facility to add or remove virtual HP-IL devices or to change their tab position.
  

If you like to give this version a try please consult the instructions in the description of the beta release.

The plotter should already produce quite reasonable results. Hence there are a some characteristics of the original device where I need test results of volunteers who have a working HP7470A (mine is malfunctioning). I attached a LIF image file with three HP-71 basic test programs:

• CLIP: clipping and output of information
• LOST1: operating the plotter outside the user coordinate range
• LOST2: operating the plotter outside the plotter coordinate range
  

I'd be very happy if anybody could test whether the graphic and alphanumeric output of these programs match.
