Application of plotter


If the computer system is equipped with a plotter, then with the support of the plotting software, the plotter can clearly represent the drawings drawn by the curves, plans and perspectives. Therefore, the plotter is widely used in the fields of machinery, electronics, construction, business management, office automation and even clothing design, in addition to its application in meteorological, surveying and mapping and other graphic output. For example, drawing engineering drawings in the machinery industry; drawing circuit diagrams and wiring diagrams in the electronics industry; drawing automobile outline drawings in the automobile industry; drawing various building plans and three-dimensional drawings in the construction industry; drawing design patterns in the textile industry, etc. Can't do without a plotter. It has become a major hardcopy output device in computer systems.

The performance index of the plotter


The main performance indicators of the plotter include format size, maximum plotting speed, acceleration, precision, and number of pens. The format size determines the size of the drawing format that can be drawn. Speed and acceleration are related to the speed of drawing, precision affects the quality of drawing, and the number of drawing pens determines the color selectivity of drawing color graphics. Among them, accuracy and speed are two important indicators. Plotters are developing in the direction of high-precision, high-speed drawing.

Plotter classification


The plotter consists of a driving motor, a control circuit, an interpolator, a drawing table, a pen holder, and a mechanical transmission. There are many types of plotters. According to their structure and working principle, they are mainly divided into two types: drum plotters and flatbed plotters. Drum type plotter

How a plotter works


The built-in microcomputer is connected with the main control computer through the interface, and the main control computer sends out a certain format drawing command code string according to the user's drawing application program. After receiving it, the in-machine microcomputer carries out interpretation, error checking and drawing control. The exchange of information between the internal microcomputer and the main control computer is accomplished through the interface. Implementing drawing means that the in-machine microcomputer controls the drawing pen on the drawing machine to complete certain drawing operations according to the received commands. These include performing interpolation operations, checking out of bounds, checking the syntax of commands, issuing step pulses that control movement in the x and y directions, and current pulses that control the electromagnet of the pen lift.
