NOTE. Be sure the digitizing oscilloscope Utility menu is set to Talk/Listen and
not Hardcopy (Talk Only) or you will get an error message at this step. Setting
the digitizing oscilloscope Utility menu was described in To Set Up for Making
Hardcopies on page 3–47.
5. Type: IBRDF <Filename>where <Filename> is a valid DOS file name you
want to call your hardcopy information. It should be ≤8 characters long with
up to a 3 character extension. For example, you could type “ibrdf screen1”.
6. Exit the IBIC program by typing: EXIT
7. Copy the data from your file to your hardcopy device. Type:
COPY <Filename> <Output port> </B> where:
<Filename> is the name you defined in step 5.
<Output port> is the PC output port your hardcopy device is connected to
(such as LPT1 or LPT2).
For example, to copy (print) a file called screen1 to a printer attached to the
lpt1 parallel port, type “copy screen1 lpt1: /B”.
Your hardcopy device should now print a picture of the digitizing oscilloscope
screen.
NOTE. If you transmit hardcopy files across a computer network, use a binary
(8-bit) data path.
