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.
