Hi,

maybe a simple ibrdf(). It puts string to a file . Maybe you just have to name it as a .bmp.

Hi, Sorry, I don't know how to use ibrdf command in LabVIEW. I have tried to use "Write to binary file" function like attached file. But the bmp file can't be readed.

Search the fboard for 'screen capture'. There have been numerous posts and some include code. One recent one is this. Different model but similar commands.
