Applications
Digital pen plotters were used for technical drawing output from CAD systems, mainframes, and minicomputers throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The DMP-2 supported standard plotting protocols and connected to systems via parallel or serial connections. Historically deployed in engineering, architecture, and technical documentation workflows where vector-based output on paper or film was required. Compatible with plotting software and devices communicating via TTL parallel or RS-232C protocols.
This Houston Instrument HiPlot DMP-2 Digital Pen Plotter is being sold as open box. The unit was sourced from a satellite communications spares room and appears in near-new to new cosmetic condition. Prior to listing, the pen assembly retaining wire was removed and a power-on test was performed — the unit does power on. However, its plotting function has not been tested and no functional verification has been performed beyond confirming it powers up. The plotter is offered in open box, untested condition. The original Houston's HI PLOT Operator Manual (covering both DMP-2 and DMP-5) is included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
