Managing Data, Settings, and Pictures Printing Screen Shots
The instrument acquisition memory limit is 1 GB (1.024 Gigabytes). Because of the way acquisition
data is processed, 1 GB of acquisition memory requires 2 GB of memory to store. When header
information (instrument settings) is added to the acquisition data, the resulting
fi le size is >2 GB.
If acquisition memory is fi lled (1 GB), exporting the data to MATLAB format will result in a fi le that
is too big for MATLAB to process. To check how much acquisition memory is fi lled, select Setup >
Acquire > Sampling Parameters. When the instrument is stopped, or you are analyzing a recalled data
fi le, you can fi nd the acquisition length under File > Acquisition Data Info.
Printing Screen Shots
You can print shots (screen captures) two ways: use File > Print or save a picture fi le and print the fi le
using a separate graphics program. Printing a screen capture is the same as printing with any windows
program. For details on the available
fi le formats for saving a screen capture, refer to Data, Settings, and
Picture File Formats (see page 335) . For details on saving a picture to a fi le, see Saving and Recalling
Data, Settings, and Pictures (see page 333) .
To print a screen from the instrument:
1. Select File > Print .
2. Select File > Print Preview if you wish to review the screen shot before sending it to the printer.
3. Select File > Print to print the fi le to a printer.
