Is it possible to capture oscilloscope's screen and save image file in LabVIEW?

Hi,
The scope can save the screen image to the flopy disk (shown in attached file). I can use LabVIEW to get the waveform data and draw the curves, but only curves. Sometime we need the information besides the curve such like the red circled parts in the attached file.
Is it possible to capture all the screen to hard disk with LabVIEW?
I am using Tektronix TDS3012B and NI GPIB-USB-HS data card.
I tried the following GPIB commands but it didnt' work:

HARDCOPY:PORT GPIB
HARDCOPY:FORMAT BMPCOLOR
HARDCOPY:FILENAME "TEST.BMP"
HARDCOPY:START

Try:

:HARDCOPY:PORT GPIB;FORMAT BMPCOLOR
:HARDCOPY:START

followed by GPIB read.

Or you can save the the bmp to a file, then copy the file.

PS. There is an IVI driver for TDS 30xx scope on NI site:
"tkds30xx_LV71.msi"
