Before you launch pyILPER connect the PC to the PIL-Box and
set up the HP-IL loop with at least the HP-IL controller (HP41 or
HP-71B). After the launch of pyILPER you must reconfigure
the HP-IL devices on the loop, by either powering the controller
off and on again or by issuing a RESTORE IO on the HP-71B.
The user interface consists of:
The tabbed virtual HP-IL devices can be undocked and moved to floating, resizeable windows by pressing the undock button at the right corner of the tab bar. Clicking the close button of a floating window docks the virtual device into the tab again.
The pyILPERmain window with the tabbed devices or all undocked device windows can be resized to an appropriate size. The number of lines of scope, terminal, printer or plotter output will increase or decrease accordingingly.
