A.4 Making a Hardcopy of the Screen
In the following example a hardcopy of the screen picture is made as follows:
1) Enter the hardcopy of the screen in HPGL data format.
2) Send the entered data buffer to a HPGL plotter connected via the IEEE bus.
Application summary:
Connect the HPGL plotter to the computer via the GPIB interface.
Turn off the power of the HPGL plotter to prevent the plotter from starting to
plot during the data transport from the CombiScope instrument to the
computer.
Create the picture (waveforms + text) on the screen that you want to hardcopy
to the plotter. The CombiScope instrument must be in its digital mode (DSO).
Select the hardcopy HPGL format by sending: HCOPy:DEVice HPGL
Enter the hardcopy HPGL data by sending: HCOPy:DATA?
and by reading the response data, i.e.: #0<hardcopy data>.
Stop program execution to let you turn on the power of the HPGL plotter.
Finally send the HPGL <hardcopy data> to the HPGL plotter. As a result the
picture of the screen is plotted on the plotter paper.
