Screen Capture
The screen capture feature on the 8000 Series Gaussmeters allows the
user to save a JPEG picture of the display that will be stored on a USB
memory drive attached to the meter’s front panel USB port.
The captured image files are stored in the file path
:\fwb8000\screens
. If
this file path is not already stored on the drive the meter will create it.
To use the screen capture feature navigate from the MAIN menu to the
SYSTEM menu.
Pressing the <Screen Capture> button will arm the screen capture feature
and illuminate the <Enter> button.
Pressing the <Enter> button after arming the screen capture feature will
write the image (.jpg) to the USB drive and will open a dialog box that
shows the path and name of the file. Press <Enter> again to continue.
Before pressing the <Enter> button but after arming the screen capture
feature, the user may navigate to different menus and or modes of
operation to capture the desired image.
For example, if the user wanted to capture an image in Waveform mode:
•
Navigate back to the system menu.
•
Press the <Screen Capture> button.
•
Navigate to waveform mode.
•
Set the time base and vertical scales as desired.
•
Press enter to capture the image.

Note: If a USB memory drive is not detected, a dialog box will alert the user to
install the drive and press the <Enter> button to continue.
