To save a trace list in ASCII format
Some HP 16500C displays, such as file lists and trace lists, contain columns of
ASCII data that you may want to move to a PC for further manipulation or
analysis. You can save these displays as ASCII files, using a procedure similar
to that for creating graphics images. While a graphics capture saves only the
data shown onscreen, saving the display as an ASCII file captures all data in
the list, even if it is offscreen.
1
Insert a DOS-formatted 3.5-inch disk in the flexible disk drive.
2 Set up the menu you want to capture, or run a measurement from
which you want to save data.
Remember that only displays that present lists of textual data can be
captured as ASCII files.
3
Select Print Disk from the Print menu.
4 Select the Filename field and specify a file name to which the screen
will be printed.
5 Select ASCII (ALL) from the Output Format field.
If the current display contents can’t be saved as an ASCII file, this option will
not be present in the Output Format field.
6
Select Flexible Disk from the Output Disk menu.
7 Select Execute.
