2.2.9 Screen Capture
The R8100 can save display screen content in *.jpg (JPEG) file format to an attached USB flash memory
drive. Screen captures are performed using a front panel key sequence. The R8100 can save the entire
display screen or the content of individual Operating Zones. Each screen capture is initiated by first
pressing the “Shift” key, then a key corresponding to the display area being saved. File names are
correlated to the display area being saved but are appended with a date timestamp in the form of
yyyymmdd_hhmmss
. The key combinations are as follows:
Display area
saved
Key sequence File name
Main Shift + 0 R8100yyyymmdd_hhmmss.jpg
RF Zone Shift + 1 RFZoneyyyymmdd_hhmmss.jpg
Audio Zone Shift + 2 Audioyyyymmdd_hhmmss.jpg
Display Zone Shift + 4 or 5 Displayyyyymmdd_hhmmss.jpg
Meter Zone Shift + 7 or 8 Meteryyyymmdd_hhmmss.jpg
The flash drive can be inserted in any available USB slot on the R8100. Most flash drives have an activity
light that flashes momentarily as the R8100 acknowledges the drive. Once the activity light stops flashing
the drive is ready to accept screen captures.
Note: There is always a risk that pre-existing files can be
erased or corrupted. So it is highly recommended that the flash drive has no other critical files stored on
the device. The R8100 will display a message before allowing files to be written to the USB flash drive.
Once a screen capture is initiated the R8100 displays a warning about potential corruption of existing files
on the flash drive – the message appears once per operating session. The user is given the option of
proceeding by pressing Enter, or hitting the Esc key to cancel the action. For best assurance of file integrity
a waiting period of 30 seconds is recommended before removing the flash drive. Files are saved in folder
location \R8100\ScreenShots\ created on the root directory of the flash drive - see Figure 3.10.-1.
