HCOPy:DEVice:LANGuage<1|2> GDI | WMF | EWMF | BMP
This command determines the data format of the printout.
Parameter: GDI Graphics Device Interface:
Default format for the output to a printer configured under Windows.
Must be selected for the output to the printer interface (HCOPy:DEVice
'SYST:COMM:PRIN').
Can be used for the output to a file (HCOPy:DEVice
'SYST:COMM:MMEM'). The printer driver configured under Windows is
used in this case and a printer-specific file format is thus generated.
WMF WINDOWS Metafile and Enhanced Metafile Format:
and EWMF Data formats for output files which can be integrated in corresponding
programs for documentation purposes at a later time. WMF can only
be used for output to a file (HCOPy:DEVice 'SYST:COMM:MMEM')
and EWMF also for the output to the clipboard
(HCOPy:DEVice 'SYST:COMM:CLIP').
BMP Bitmap.
Data format for output to files only (HCOPy:DEVice
'SYST:COMM:MMEM').
Example: "HCOP:DEV:LANG WMF"
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: conforming
Mode: all
HCOPy[:IMMediate<1|2>]
This command starts a hardcopy output. The numeric suffix selects which printer configuration (1 or
2) is to be used for the hardcopy output. If there is no suffix, configuration 1 is automatically selected.
HCOPy:IMM[1] 'Starts the hardcopy output to device 1 (default).
HCOPy:IMM2 'Starts the output to device 2.
Example: "HCOP"
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: conforming
Mode: all
This command is an event and therefore has no *RST value and no query.
HCOPy:ITEM:ALL
This command selects the complete screen to be output.
Example: "HCOP:ITEM:ALL"
Characteristics: *RST value: OFF
SCPI: conforming
Mode: all
The hardcopy output is always provided with comments, title, time and date. As an alternative to the
whole screen, only traces (commands 'HCOPy:ITEM:WINDow:TRACe: STATe ON') or tables
(command 'HCOPy:ITEM:WINDow:TABLe:STATe ON') can be output.
