VIMS-PC Service Tool Screen Capture
Saving a screen image while using a laptop PC (service tool) will allow the user to print the image for use in reports or for use as a shortcut to taking notes. The images can be saved and viewed in Windows Paintbrush, the Clipboard Viewer, Windows Write (Notepad in Windows 95), or any Windows application.
With Windows running, start the VIMS-PC Service Tool software. When you have a screen image you want to save, (such as a Machine Status screen that displays after starting communications with a machine) use the Print Screen keystroke combination on the computer keyboard to place the screen image into the computer memory.
The Alt-Tab keystroke combination on the computer keyboard toggles the computer between any open Windows applications and Windows Program Manager. Use an Alt-Tab keystroke combination to switch from the VIMS-PC Service Tool application to Windows Program Manager.
Place the mouse arrow on the Accessories group icon on the File Manager screen and double-click the left mouse button to open the Accessories window. Place the mouse arrow on the Paintbrush program icon on the Accessories screen and double-click the left mouse button to open Paintbrush.
With Paintbrush open, select View from the Paintbrush toolbar with the mouse and click on Palette, and Tools only if a check mark is present on the View menu. This turns the tool bar and color palette off and leaves a blank screen for a larger image area.
Select Edit from the Paintbrush toolbar and click on Paste or use the Ctrl-V keystroke combination on the keyboard. The screen image placed in memory will then appear in the Paintbrush image area. The screen image can be viewed, edited, or printed from Paintbrush. Paintbrush allows the user to resize the image or modify the image on a pixel by pixel basis to clean up or enhance the image.
To print the file from Paintbrush, select File from the Paintbrush menu bar and click on Print with the mouse.
With the image pasted into a Paintbrush screen, save the image as a Paintbrush file. The Paintbrush file can be recalled for use at a later time. Select File from the Paintbrush menu bar and click on Save As with the mouse. With the mouse, select the drive and subdirectory to save the file to on the right-hand side of the screen. (This can be the same subdirectory that VIMS data download files are located in.) Place the cursor arrow in the filename box on the left-hand side of the screen and name the file. Press Enter on the keyboard. After naming the file, the user can move it to any subdirectory with a copy or move command in file manager.
To exit Paintbrush, select File from the Paintbrush menu bar with the cursor arrow and click on Exit with the mouse.
The screen image remains in memory until Windows is closed, the computer is turned off or another
