How do I save a screen image from my 5000/6000/7000-series InfiniiVision oscilloscope to a USB storage device?

These instructions assume that your scope has system software version 05.00 or later (see Utility | Service | About Oscilloscope -> System version to see your scope’s version). Upgrades are available at https://www.keysight.com/find/6000sw.

To save a .BMP or .PNG screen image to a USB storage device, do the following:

  1. Plug in the USB storage device.
  2. Press the Save/Recall button and then the Save softkey.
  3. Press the Format softkey repeatedly to select the PNG or BMP format. Both formats are recognized by current versions of Windows. PNG files take a little longer to create but have a much smaller file size.
  4. Make sure the Save to softkey reads "/usb0" and press Press to Save. The scope will create the image file on your USB device with an automatically generated file name (e.g. scope_0.png). Or you can press File Name to specify your own file name.
  5. Optionally, you can make use of the Quick Print feature, which allows you to save files with a single press of the Print (or Quick Print) button. To enable Quick Print, press Save/Recall and toggle Quick Print on. Subsequent presses of Quick Print create additional PNG/BMP files with each file name incremented by 1. Note that this will work even after power is cycled; you will not need to repeat these steps unless you want to change to a different format.
