Arguments
START sends
a block of data representing the current screen image to
the requested port. The data sent is in the image format specified by the
SAVe:IMAGe:FILEFormat command and the compression level is controlled
by the selected format (BMP and TIFF are uncompressed where as PNG is
compressed). The SAVe:IMAGe:INKSaver determines whether the data sent is
in InkSaver mode.
NOTE. Th
e Hardcopy command with no arguments is equivalent to pressing the
“HardCopy” button on the front panel, when the data is sent to the printer. As
there is no front panel equivalent of the HARDCOPY START, you can choose to
save the images to a different location using the “SAVE” button.
