About Tektronix oscilloscopes Hard copy printing
Hard copy printing
To make hard copies, use a printer attached to one of the rear-panel ports or connect to a network printer, if
your instrument is on a network.
You can print the full screen or just the graticule area.
The instrument uses Windows print drive rs, so the process to install printers is the same as it is on any
other PC.
The Page Setup dialog box contains some useful options to optimize your printing:
Choose a print palette that is independent from the display palette. For example, you can print
gray-scale images to a black and w hite laser printer while you choose to view the display in color.
The color and gray scale palettes both render the intensity-graded waveform information generated
by the DPO display.
Choose the Ink Saver feature to print a hard copy with a white background. This function saves
printer ink while it preserves the color coding of the waveforms and readouts. Ink Saver also works
with th
e monochrome print palettes.
Other PC applications
Transferring images and data from the oscilloscope to other PC applications is as simple as a copy/paste
oper
ation. With a word processing, spreadsheet, or analysis application running on the built-in PC, you can
easily transfer the following items using the familiar Windows clipboard system:
Copy
a full screen or graticule-only image, and paste it into your document in either .bmp, .png,
.tif, or .jpg format.
Cop
y a waveform, and paste the waveform data into a spreadsheet in a comma-delimited (.csv) format.
Copy a waveform, and paste the waveform data into an analysis program in Mathcad (.dat) format.
Copy the displayed values of all measurements, and paste them into a document in text (.txt) format.
Copy the displayed values of all measurements, and paste them into a spreadsheet in a
comma-delimited (.csv) format.
