Hardcopy
You can get a copy of the digitizing oscilloscope display by using the hardĆ
copy feature. Depending on the output format you select, you create either
an image or a plot. Images are direct bit map representations of the digitizĆ
ing oscilloscope display. Plots are vector (plotted) representations of the
display.
