21 :HARDcopy/:HCOPY Commands
:HCOPY:SDUMp:FORMat
(see page 1610)
Command Syntax
:HCOPY:SDUMp:FORMat <format>
<format> ::= {PNG | BMP | BMP8bit}
The :HCOPY:SDUMp:FORMat command specifies the format for screen image
data: 24-bit PNG, 24-bit BMP, or 8-bit BMP8bit.
Note that the screen image data is also affected by the :HARDcopy:INKSaver
command, which is ON by default and results in an inverted image. To get a
non-inverted image, send the ":HARDcopy:INKSaver OFF" command before
querying the screen image data.
The :HCOPY:SDUMp:FORMat setting will persist when cycling power but will be
reset to PNG after a *RST (factory default) command.
The :HCOPY:SDUMp: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).
Query Syntax
:HCOPY:SDUMp:FORMat?
The :HCOPY:SDUMp:FORMat? query returns the specified screen image data
format.
The screen image data format can be set by the :HCOPY:SDUMp:FORMat
command or the front panel's [Save/Recall] > Save > Format softkey, when it selects
an image format (instead of a setup or data format).
Return Format
