want to include the se waveforms in a report you are preparing back

1. Insert a floppy disk into the disk drive.
2. Push the UTILITY button.
3. Push the System screen button to select Hard Copy.
4. Push the Format screen button.
5. Select BMP Windows mono image file format (you ma y nee d
to push the -- m o r e -- screen button several times before you see
this choice).
6. Push the Port screen button.
7. Select File to send hard copies to disk.

so you can recogniz e t hem when you get back to the office. You will

logical target file name to use.
