3.6 Taking a Bitmap Screen Capture - Snapshot
The Snapshot option enables you to take a screen capture of the current
screen in bitmap format (.bmp). Bitmaps can be stored in a file or sent
directly to a printer. To take a “snapshot” of the screen:
1. If the menu is not active, press [MENU].
2. Use the arrow key to scroll to Meter and press [ENTER].
3. Use the arrow key to scroll to Snapshot and press [ENTER].
4. Use the arrow key to scroll to the desired selection and press [ENTER].
You can choose from the following:
• Off - to turn the snapshot feature off.
• To Printer - to send the snapshot to the printer.
• To File - to send the snapshot to a file.
Note: In order to send a screen capture to a printer, the PM880 must be
properly configured to IR transfer. Refer to Setting Up the PM880 IR
Communications on page 110.
An icon of a printer or camera appears on the system tray (see page 31)
indicating that you have activated the Snapshot option.
5. To capture a screen, press the “.” (decimal) button twice. The meter
displays a clock and the message “Screen Dump,” indicating that it is
performing a screen capture.
Note: The snapshot function is deactivated once the power is turned off.
