The Translator will continually sample the X and Y analog voltages from an oscilloscope's pen plotter output port, digitize them, and package the values into a series of plain text HP-GL plotter commands, which are output via a USB port to a file on a PC. The HP-GL file can be processed into a display image by any commonly available plotter emulator application, such as SPLOT (http://www.swplot.com/splot.htm).
Read all about it in the 'Documentation/Translator Description.docx' document.
