:DISK:SIMage:SAVE
Command Syntax
:DISK:SIMage:SAVE
Description
Performs a screen capture of the FlexOTO window and saves the image to the specified file name and extension that is specified with the :DISK:SIMage:FNAMe command. The filename extension selects the file's graphics format. To increment the automatic file number index, use the :DISK:SIMage:FNAMe:AUPDate command.
If a displayed dialog is outside FlexDCA's window, it will not be included in the screen image capture. Use the Windows Print Screen function instead.
Use an *OPC? query to pause program execution while waiting for this command to execute.
Include in Screen Capture
Use the :DISK:SIMage:CARea command to select the area within the FlexPLL or FlexOTO window to save in the image.
Do not use FlexDCA's :DISK:SIMage:WINDow command which is used in FlexDCA to perform this task and is unavailable when programming FlexPLL or FlexOTO. FlexPLL and FlexOTO uses the :DISK:SIMage:CARea instead.
Monochrome
Select Monochrome (:DISK:SIMage:MONochrome command) to save a black and white image. This selection automatically selects inverts the graticule area's background color.
Invert Graticule Area Background Color
Select Invert Graticule Area Background Color (:DISK:SIMage:INVert command) to save the entire application window with the graticule black and the graticule background white. The waveform colors remain unchanged. If combined with Include in screen capture, this option is especially useful when printing a hard copy of the waveform as it saves ink or toner.
Include Metadata
Select the include Metadata (:DISK:SIMage:IMETadata command) for .jpg and .tiff files to include metadata in the graphics file. Metadata can be read by many applications such as Window's File Explorer.
