NOTE. If the fi le
you specify doesn't exist, sending this command creates it. If the
file does exist, sending this command overwrites its contents.
The image-fil
e format that your hardcopy will have depends on whether you
include a file extension when you specify the file path:
NOTE. If your FILEName argument does not include a file extension, the file
extension associated with the format set by the HARDCopy:FORMat command is
automatically appended and that image-file format is used. You can change the
file format using the HARDCopy:FORMat command, sending it before you send
the HARDC
opy:FILEName command.
If your FILEName argument does include a file extension, the image-file
associa
ted with it is used instead. The file extension must be one associated with
one of the formats listed for the H ARDCopy:FORMat command.

<FILE P ATH> specifies the file to which the hardcopy is sent. This argument is a

you include a file extension.

c
ard characters are illegal.
Examples
HARDCOPY:FILENAME "C:\MY DOCUMENTS\TEK" immediately outputs a
hardcopy to the file TEK.<format>, where <format> is the image-file format set
by the HARDCopy:FORMat command, or by the optional fi le-name extension.
HARDCOPY:FILENAME "C:\MY DOCUMENTS\TEK.PNG" immediately outputs
a hardcopy to the file TEK.PNG, where PNG is image-file format set by the
file-name extension included in the command argument.
