<h2>Hardware</h2>
<p>
You need a USB to DB25 converter to interface to a HP7550a. Im using <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NHYTE7Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">this</a> bought at Amazon.
<br>It has the ch340 chipset inside that needs <a href="http://www.wch.cn/downloads.php?name=pro&proid=5">this</a> drivers from the Chinese manufacturer
<br>On OSX you need to do this sequence originaly created by <a href="http://javacolors.blogspot.com/2014/08/dccduino-usb-drivers-ch340-ch341-chipset.html">Alexandre de Pellegrin</a>
<ol>
<li>Install the CH340 driver</li>
<li>Run this command in Terminal: sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"</li>
<li>Reboot your computer</li>
</ol>
<br>
On the Plotter you need to setup this configuration
<br>
<ul>
<li>Baudrate 9600</li>
<li>Handshake: Xon/Xoff Direct</li>
<li>Data flow: Local Standalone (this seems to reset after power down of plotter on my machine)</li>
<li>Bypass: OFF</li>
<li>Duplex: Full</li>
<li>Parity: 8-bits OFF</li>
</ul>
<br>
To access the submenu for this settings on the HP7550a press:
<ol>
<li>"Next Display"</li>
<li>"Enter"</li>
<li>"Next Display"</li>
<li>"Serial"</li>
</ol>
