HP ColorPro
This is a classic Pen Plotter from the 1980's It appears to be amazingly resilient.
Its simular to a normal printer in that it moves the paper and the printhead. The difference being the printhead is a pen that has been selected from a carousel containing 8 pens.
Another nifty feature is using the controls on the right of the plotter it is possible to use it to digitise information and to manually plot.
The above image shows a plot in progress.

HP ColorPro - Real Time Graphing
Using the above library a graph of temperatures was
plotted in real time from my home automation system.
Every minuet the plotter draws an extra point on each line. The markings along the base representing tens of minuets and hours.
