PENMAN

Models

This driver outputs directly to the Penman Turtle Plotter.

Description

The Turtle plotter has a pen with an up/down mechanism mounted on a wheeled carriage that is connected for power and control via a flying cable. It uses a home marker that it can detect optically to register its origin.

Output

The output from this driver is device code that is sent directly to the Turtle plotter. The device code uses simple absolute positioning and drawing commands. Periodic returns to the origin, to re-establish a datum point, limit the build up of positional errors during plotting.

Files output by this driver are ASCII coded and record structured. They are used only for maintenance purposes.

Options

None.
