Store a Screen Image in a Graphic File

:MMEMory:STORe:SCReen[:IMMediate] <filename>

The :MMEMory:STORe:SCReen[:IMMediate] command will write the screen image to a file regardless of what the front panel Print Setup, Print To key function is set to. Screen files are always saved in color with an orientation of portrait.

The <filename> variable is composed of: [<device>:]<name>[.<extension>] where:

<filename> is a string that must be enclosed in single (’) or double (") quotes.

<device> must be A or C. Upper or lower case is acceptable. If device is not specifed the default is set by MMEM:MSIS.

<name> must be 1 to 8 characters in length and consist only of the characters a..z, A..Z and 0..9 (no underscore). If a name is not specified the default is screen1.

<.extension> must be .gif.bmp.wmf. (Note the lower case.) If a file type extension is not specified the default is set by

MMEM:STORE:SCREEN:FILE:TYPE

Example:

MMEM:STOR:SCR “C:myscreen.gif”

Remarks:

When writing to A, <name> can be any valid

 

DOS-compatible name.

 

When writing to C, <name> must be screen1 . . .

 

screen6. (Note the lower case.)

 

If you write a file to C any existing screen file with the

 

same name will be replaced, regardless of the

 

extensions. For example, file screen3.gif will replace file

 

screen3.bmp
