Capturing screens using the Connectivity Kit One of the most powerful abilities of the Connectivity Kit is its ability to capture images of the calculator screen. These images can be pasted into a document or into a Paint program for further processing. This allows teachers to create worksheets that include images of what the student should see. Students can create reports that include graphs and tables from your calculator. Any screen can be captured at any moment, even if it is only partially drawn. The capture is triggered by pressing ON+1. This means holding down the ON key and, while still holding it down, pressing and releasing the 1 key then ON. When you do the image appears on the computer. The images to the right and above show the screen capture process on the two different pieces of software. See page 203. Once the image is captured, the Options menu on the HPGComm software package allows you to perform simple tasks such as putting a border around the image, and rotating or resizing the image. The File menu will allow you to save the image as a BMP file. The software for the hp 39g+ also has options to allow you to copy the image to the clipboard, or to save it as a BMP file. The Edit menu on HPGComm has a single option of Copy to clipboard which allows you to transfer the image into any other software capable of receiving it. Windows Paint is suitable. Most word processors will also accept images pasted directly from the clipboard. 210
