The "Save Screenshot" toolbar icon saves the current display to a file according to the
settings in "File" menu > "Print setup". See also Chapter 3.4.7.2, "Configuring the tool-
bar", on page 119.
You can configure the [PRINT] key to save or print screenshots by a single keypress.
See also Chapter 4.3.2, "Hardkeys: function assignment", on page 140.
If a USB flash drive is connected to the instrument, the default path of the user data
directory is set to the drive letter of the USB flash drive. Thus, you save data to USB
flash drive automatically, and you can change the directory in the file explorer at any
time.
Screenshots on a computer using the Web interface
If the R&S RTE is connected to a LAN, you can create and save screenshots of the
instrument's display on a computer. See Chapter 17.3.2, "Web browser",
on page 1034.
