:HARDcopy/:HCOPY Commands 21

Keysight InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Guide 521

:HCOPY:SDUMp:DATA

(see page 1610)

Query Syntax

:HCOPY:SDUMp:DATA? [<format>]

<format> ::= {PNG | BMP | BMP8bit}

The :HCOPY:SDUMp:DATA? query reads and returns screen image data. You can

choose 24-bit BMP, 8-bit BMP8bit, or 24-bit PNG formats.

Note that the returned image is also affected by the :HARDcopy:INKSaver

command, which is ON by default and returns an inverted image. To get a

non-inverted image, send the ":HARDcopy:INKSaver OFF" command before the

DATA? query.

In addition to the <format> option of this query, the screen image data format can

also be set by the :HCOPY:SDUMp:FORMat command or the front panel's

[Save/Recall] > Save > Format softkey, when an image format (instead of a setup or

data format) is selected.

If no <format> option is specified with this query, the screen image data is returned

in the currently selected format. After a *RST (factory default) command, the PNG

format is selected by default.

If the <format> option is specified with this query, the format setting will affect the

front panel's [Save/Recall] > Save > Format softkey setting if the Format softkey

currently selects an image format (instead of a setup or data format).

Screen image data is returned in the IEEE-488.2 # binary block data format.

Return Format

<display_data><NL>

<display_data> ::= binary block data in IEEE-488.2 # format.
