You can also print the instrument screen and its waveforms to a file. This
instrument currently supports printing to BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PNG and Targa
image-file formats.
NOTE. Screen images saved using the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format
can consistently achieve compression ratios better than 10:1, and often better
than 50:1 compared to a BMP screen image file. PNG is a lossless format
