User Entered Graphics
With the ‘G’ command in the trace display mode, graphic lines and graphic (vector) text may be
overlayed anywhere upon the trace display. This allows the user to point to some region of interest (using
a simple line with an arrow) and entering text of any size and orientation (45 degree increments).
In addition, any HP-GL file may be imported and displayed anywhere on the trace display. This allows
the user to display a company logo or show a graphic that explains how or where the measurement was
made. HP-GL files may be generated with DRAWING GALLERY (plot to a file). The arrow keys or the
mouse move a graphic marker over the trace display. To draw a line, a reference marker must be placed
upon the display. To do this, move the marker to where you want the line to start and either press Insert
or the Left mouse button (a small square will be displayed). This is creates a reference marker. Now
move the marker to where you want the end of the line and press Enter or the Right mouse button (now
the line is drawn). To do another line repeat the previous steps. To draw a sequence of connected lines,
you may leave out the press of Enter (or Right button) as starting a new line finishes drawing an old line.
To import a graphic, place the reference marker (by press an Insert key or click the left mouse button) at
one edge of the location to put the graphic, move the marker to the opposite edge to put the graphic and
then press ‘I’. The following commands are recognized in graphics mode:
   ∑

Ins Set Reference Marker. If Reference Marker already set, then this draws a line
between marker & reference marker,
L Mouse Button Same as ‘Ins’,
Enter Draw line between marker & ref marker (and turns off ref marker),
+ Add an arrow at end of nearest line,
- Dashed line on/off,
Del Delete nearest graphics line/text,
