[BC] Printer for Tek 2712...Take 2...

[Burt I. Weiner]

The 2712 is a nice analyzer and has a fairly decent displayed noise floor

It requires a printer or plotter with IEEE type spigot. A friend of 
mine has a 2712 and we connected my 2 Pen, HP 7470A plotter to it and 
it was able to print directly to the plotter. The HP7470A with IEEE 
spigot is hard to find but there is one on eBay right now for $10.00. 
You'll need a HP IEEE cable and they're plentiful on eBay.

If you even think you might want it - go for it. You can never find a 
IEEE version when you're looking. It will direct print from the 2712 
and any of the TEK 49x series of analyzers. It's reasonably portable 
and will run off of a small inverter. You can really impress people 
by letting them watch it print out a graticule and a scan. It's like 
watching a pigeon eat!
