file, you must select whether to store it on the analyzer's non-volatile
RAM disk or a 3.5" floppy disk in the built-in disk drive. Also, you must
select either an HP-GL, PCL5, or PCX file format. All of these formats
can be imported to many personal computer (PC) applications such as
word processors and drawing programs. This allows a simple method for
screen dumps to be used in reports, memos, or other communications. In
addition, with the LAN feature, you can use FTP to directly get a
hardcopy file in either HP-GL, GIF, or PCX format. See The LAN
Interface User's Guide Supplement for information.
If you are sending hardcopy to an external device (printer or plotter), you
should have already configured the analyzer for use with the printer or
plotter. See the previous section,
