Keithley 197A owners' corner

Inspired by this thread, I have developed my own display replacement board and SW to go with it. In addition to replacing the display, I have added bluetooth logging and other functionality. Here is a picture of how it looks like:
The SW (targeting a AVR64DB28 micro) is available on GitHub: https://github.com/alx2009/K197Display

I have now reversed engineered the way the voltmeter talk to the IEEE-488 card: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/reverse-engineering-of-the-internal-ieee-interface-of-the-keithley-197a/msg5202936/#msg5202936
Many thanks to rikkitikkitavi who very kindly loaned me a Model 1972 IEEE-488 interface card, making this possible.
A library for an Arduino Uno is available here: https://github.com/alx2009/K197Control

I found the printed Instruction manual for the "Model 1973/1973 IEEE-488" for the Keithley 197", including schematics. Now lying here on my desk.
No time for scanning at the moment, will do it in the winterholidays and post it here.
If I should look into something detailed send a PM

For documentation completeness I have attached the scans of the 197A version...... and of course there is only the addition of the backlight circuits to the original, but still.. :P
In two parts to fit forum limitations!
Would be nice if mk has the GPIB scans done to post them too :)
