What is the name of this old font?

MegaVolt:
Maybe someone recognizes this font? I came across it in the Fluke docs.

BrianHG:
Maybe here: https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/?1#ibm-dos

Scan through all their low res bitmap fonts.  You might find a better match.

Their test typing preview doesn't work.  It just uses a true-type font.

Thank you! Very interesting link.

Unfortunately, there was no complete match.

This font looks like a mechanical printing device. Which prints the whole letters.

I would have suspected the zeros '0' being better rounded.
I thought it was an early thermal printer with a low res LCD style bitmap font.

It looks like a so-called stroke font. So the difference is that it has uniform thickness, and it can be "printed" with a plotter. Or used on PCB as text without violating thickness rules.
