Re: [Linux-gpib-general] Help needed

Generally it is easier to read the data and then use something like gnuplot
to plot it. It is possible to plot to the card by sending the appropriate
low level set talker and listener commands and then initiating the plot
from the instrument while reading the plot output programmatically.
