Application Examples
When you need to capture screen images, it may be most convenient
to first save them to a USB flash drive. Once on the USB flash drive,
you can load the screen images into a PC, print h ard copies with a
printer attached to you r PC, or import the screen images into desktop
publishing software to produce a repo rt.
Similarly, you can also save waveform data on the USB flash drive.
From the fl ash drive, you can recall waveforms to the oscilloscope
display or you can import the data into spreadsheet and Mathcad
software to perform additional analysis.
If you have oscil loscop e setups that you want to use again, you also
can store them on the USB flash drive. The Reference chapter h as
more inform ation on this capability. (See page 102, Save/Recall .)
For information about remo te control accessories, see Appendix C:

Saving Screen Images
While w orkin g at the remote site you discover a control signal that you
want to captu re periodically to sho w its long-term variation. You want to
include these waveforms in a report you are preparing back at the office.
Your desktop publishing software can import BMP grap hics, so
you decide to use this format for the screen images. To setup this
configuration, fo llo w these steps:
1. Insert a USB flash drive into the USB flash drive po rt.
2. Push the Utility button.
3. Push the System bottom button to select Hard Copy.
4. Push the Form at screen button.
5. Select BM P Mono Windows mono image file format (you may
need to push the -more-screen button several times before you
see t his choice).
6. Push the Port screen button.
7. Select F ile to send hard copies to a USB flash drive.
8. Push the hard copy button
to save t he image.
The oscilloscope reads the flash drive directory and displays its contents.
