Arguments
START sends a block of data representing the current screen image to the requested
port. The data sent is in the image format specified by SAVe:IMAGe:FILEFormat,
and the compression level is controlled by whatever format h as been selected
(BMP and TIFF are uncompre ssed, while PNG is compre ssed).
Examples
HARDCOPY initiates a screen c
opy to the active printer.
HARDCopy:INKSaver
Changes hard copy output to print traces and graticule on a white background
while retaining waveform c
olor information (except for channel 1, which prints as
dark blue because yellow does not show up well and is difficult to see on a white
background). This option can significantly reduce print time and quantities of ink
required compared with WYSIWYG dark background images.
