HP 4155A/4156A SCPI Programming
Programming: Print/Plot Operation
If you print/plot from built-in IBASIC, change display mode to All
Instrument or IBASIC Status by sending :DISPlay[:WINDow]:ALLocation
command.
4. Print/plot the setup data by sending
:HCOPy
command.
If you print/plot from an external computer, pass Active Controller
capability to HP 4155A/4156A after sending
:HCOPy
command because HP
4155A/4156A requires Active Controller capability to print.
Refer to the following example.
