HCOPy Subsystem
The AM700 support for hardcopy is non-standard to the 1994 SCPI manual for
hardcopy, but it more closely tracks the way this feature has been previously
implemented. In the SCPI manual, the 
MMEMory:OPEN
 and 
HCOPy:CLOSe
commands were to be used to open and close the file specified by 
MMEM:NAME
 to
accommodate feeding data from the HCOPy subsystem. This state-dependent style
of feeding data is not used in the AM700.
The AM700 GPIB usage of hardcopy-to-file is as follows. You can send:
mmem:name 
file
hcopy:dest 
mmem
hcopy
instead of
mmem:name 
file
mmem:open
hcopy:dest 
mmem
hcopy
mmem:close
The spool-to-file procedure is implemented so that the act of creating the hardcopy
implicitly opens the file at the start, and closes it at the end.
HCOPY
Usage:
This command [HCOPy] immediately initiates the plot or print according to the
current Hard COPy setup parameters. All of the items under the ITEM node
which are turned ON (STATe ON) are plotted or printed.
Query:
Event only, no query.
