documentation (including Help text) for information on using and printing

The Function Reference for the Host Interface Library (C-language
version)
The HP E1432A distribution includes manual pages for the HP E1432A Host
Interface library. These manual pages can be examined on-line, using the
“ptman” command that is shipped in “/opt/e1432/bin”. For example, you
can read the manual page for the “e1432_init_measure” function by typing:
ptman e1432_init_measure
The distribution also includes a nicely formatted set of these manual pages,
that can be printed on any postscript printer. This manual in postscript
form is in file “/opt/e1432/man/man.ps”. Typically, this manual can be
printed by typing:
lp -opostscript /opt/e1432/man/man.ps
Alternatively, if there is no postscript printer available, a plain text version
of the manual is in file “/opt/e1432/man/man.txt”. This can be printed on
any line printer.
Users of the C-language library will also find useful information about the
HP E1432A in the HP E1432A help text (see above).
