Saving Screen Images
While working at the remote site you discover a control signal that
you want to capture periodically to show its long-term variation. You
want to include these waveforms in a report you are preparing back
at the office.
Your desktop publishing software can import BMP graphics, so you
decide to use this format for the screen images. To setup this
configuration, do these steps:
1. Insert a floppy disk into the disk drive.
2. Push the UTILITY button.
3. Push the System screen button to select Hard Copy.
4. Push the Format screen button.
5. Select BMP Windows mono image file format (you may need
to push the –more– screen button several times before you see
this choice).
6. Push the Port screen button.
7. Select File to send hard copies to disk.
The oscilloscope reads the disk directory and displays its contents.
Naming Files. It is good practice to give disk files descriptive names
so you can recognize them when you get back to the office. You will
be saving images of the control signal so you decide CNTRL is a
logical target file name to use.
