Hardcopy
You can get a copy of the digitizing oscilloscope display by using the hardco-
py feature. Depending on the output format you select, you create either an
image or a plot. Images are direct bit map representations of the digitizing
oscilloscope display. Plots are vector (plotted) representations of the display.
Different hardcopy devices use different formats. The digitizing oscilloscope
supports the following formats:
HP Thinkjet inkjet printer
HP Deskjet inkjet printer
HP Laserjet laser printer
