Problems plotting to 7470.exe ("missing comma")

Ok, guys, got the Prologix working and the KE5FX toolkit going. The goal is to do a proper HPGL data transfer from an HP3577 analyzer to the PC. Set the HP3577 to talk-only and 7470.exe to waiting for a device initiated plot. So far so good.Now all I get is two error message and (most of the time) 7470.exe aborts and when calling it up again shows the same error message. When clicking that message it just keeps aborting.First I get this error:"missing comma - malformed data?"Then if I try again this one:"Could not open for writing"It's been a long time since I dealt with HPGL but the only problem ever was a missing "pen down" command which had to be added by hand. What's this missing comma business?-- Regards, Joerg"gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.Use another domain or send PM.
