problems creating a BMP file

[Kaspar]

Hello,

  I have used the "String to byte Array" vi to convert from the string output of a VISA read to a u8 1d array. Unfortunately, the Flatten Pixmap vi, requires a 2d array input. So how would I convert this into a 2 day array for the flatten pixmap vi?

Regards,

Kaspar

If you know the size of the image (width / Height) you use the reshape array function.

Hello,

  Thanks for posting the 8.2 version. Now I have to contact the vendors to get the image res and size of the screenshot data.  Presently the programmers guides just state BMP format, there is no indication of res and/or size.

Hello,

  Success....drum roll please (I have used the magic word). I have been able to get a screen shot from a TDS2022 scope. I have attached the vi to this E-mail, it is written in Labview 8.2. If you have questions, please reply to this forum.

Hello,

   I got so excited about fixing the screenshot with the TDS2022 that I forgot to save the vi to disk before I appended it to the website. So here it is again, this time it is the vi that works. Sorry for the confusion.

So the program works now?  Excellent, and good job.

Hello,

  The vi I supplied above works at least for me in my program. Hopefully someone else will use it in their program to get a screenshot of the scope.

Hello,

   Attached to the reply is a vi that creates a BMP file from the E4411B spectrum analyzer, this is why I was asking all of the questions in the forum.
