How can I get screen graphic form DPO4000 by using the VISA commands? (It's working in LabVIEW 7.0 and using the LAN to connect the oscilloscope.)

[K.k]

     Which VISA command should I use to capture the screen graphic and save them to the remote PC's harddisk? The remote PC is using LabVIEW 7.0 and control the DPO4xxx by LAN.

    Anyone who can I help me?Thanx a lot.

If it is working why do you have a problem.
So maybe tell us what is working.

A possible solution would be to read the data and print the LAbVIEW frontpanel.

It worked by using the NI's driver "tkdpo4k" and got the waveform data from LabVIEW's frontpanel. But I want to capture the DPO's screen, and save them to the PC's harddisk directly (Not using USB flash memory)

You can send the screen image to the filesystem (use the local drive not a usb stick)
and then send the file to the pc with this cmd:

FILESYSTEM:READFILE “C\TEK00000.IBM”, GPIb

sends the file named
TEK00000.IBM to the GPIB port.

try to write subvi that does the fileIO and one that saves the screenimage to the scopes local disk.
call them with the same filename

Thank you very much.

     The question is what should be input to replace the "GPIb" when using the LAN ? 

Hope you can help me. Thanks a lot !!

The only real addres I find is in the hardcopy command

HARDCopy:PRINTer:ADD <name>,<server>,<address>

maybe it is some command like this.
Another (wild) idea is to setup your local printserver (share your printer e.g. pdf creator is a free printer package that can be used in an automated way.)
and the use this share as the network printer.
You get a nice pdf instead of a.bmp...


good luck

Thanks for your kindness.
