7-2 Programmer’s Guide
Using Graphics
Introduction
Introduction
The analyzer has a set of user graphics commands that can be used to
create graphics and messages on the display. The GRAPHICS example
program in the Example Programs Guide uses some of these commands
to draw a simple setup diagram. These commands, listed below, are of
the form:
DISPlay:WINDow[1|2|10]:GRAPhics:<mnemonic>.
The number specified in the WINDow part of the command selects where
the graphics are to be written.
WINDow1 draws the graphics to the channel 1 measurement
screen. (This is the default if no window is specified in
the mnemonic.)
WINDow2 draws the graphics to the channel 2 measurement
screen.
WINDow10 draws the graphics to an IBASIC display partition. The
graphics can only be output in red on a PCL printer.
NOTE When graphics commands are used to write directly to a measurement
screen, they write to the static graphics plane (the same plane where the
graticule is drawn). There is no sweep-to-sweep speed penalty once the
graphics have been drawn.
