Depending on the output format selected, the oscilloscope creates either an
image or a plot. Images are direct bit map representations of the oscilloscope
display. Plots are vector (plotted) representations of the display.
Some formats, particularly Interleaf, EPS, TIFF, PCX, BMP, and HPGL, are
compatible with various desktop publishing packages. Such compatibility means
you can paste files created from the oscilloscope directly into a document on any
of those desktop publishing systems.
EPS Mono and Color formats are compatible with Tektronix Phaser Color
Printers, HPGL is compatible with the Tektronix HC100 Plotter, and Epson is
compatible with the Tektronix HC200 Printer.
