Saving (printing) screen images to floppy disk

Saving (printing) screen images to floppy disk

1 Press the

Save/Recall

key to display the Save/Recall menu.

2 Press the

Formats

softkey to display the Formats menu.

The Formats menu allows you to quickly configure the

Quick Print

menu to save

images to the floppy disk. Pressing one of the image format softkeys in this
menu will link (

) you to the

Utility

Print Confg

menu and allow you to

send TIF, BMP, or CSV formatted data to the floppy disk.

To print a hardcopy of the screen image directly to a printer, configure the
printer in the Utility -> Print Confg menu, then press the

Quick Print

key.

3 Press the

CSV

TIF

, or

BMP

softkey.

You are linked to the

Utility

Print Confg

menu. The print configuration is

automatically set to print to the floppy disk in the format you selected.

CSV

data (comma-separated variable) are values of displayed channels and

math waveforms suitable for spreadsheet analysis. You can also change the
length of the CSV file when you are in the Print Confg menu.

BMP

and

TIF

data formats print the complete screen image, including the status

line and softkeys. You can also choose to print oscilloscope Factors when you
are in the Print Confg menu.

4 Press the front-panel

Quick Print

key to start the transfer to the floppy

disk.

For further information about setting up your printer, see the “Utility” chapter.
