Syntax 1
HARDCopy:FILEName <file path>
Syntax 2
HARDCopy:FILEName?
Argument
H <file path>
This specifies that the hard copy is sent to the named file. <file
path> is a quoted string that defines the file name and path. Input
the file path using the form <drive>:<dir>/<file-
name>.<drive> and one or more <dir>s are optional. The file
path cannot exceed 128 characters. If you don’t specify the path with
<drive>: and one or more <dir>s, the default location is ”C:\Tek-
Scope\Images”. While filename extensions are not required, they are
highly recommended.
Example 1
HARDCopy:FILEName ”TEK.BMP”
This command sets TEK.BMP as the selected file name. The next hard-
copy will be sent to this file in the default hardcopy directory, if the
:HARDCopy:PORT selection is FILE.
Example 2
HARDCopy:FILEName?
This query might return :HARDCOPY:FILENAME ”C:\Tek-
Scope\Images\TEK.BMP” as the selected file.
