I have a question about extracting display data from an Agilent Oscilloscope. It seems to be relatde to converting binary data to an image format.
I have the scope connected to the PC over USB and am communicating with it through VISA with no problems. I am attempting to collect display data rather than waveform data, becasue the waveform data does not return what I am interested in. Rather, a bmp is the preferred data format. The command sequence to do so returns an image file to my PC. I am downloading files just fine using the VISA Read to File.vi. I believe that the data captured through this means is binary data. My question is about trying to convert the stored file to an image file. Does anyone know how to do this? If so, please advise.

Some Scopes have certain commands to accomplish that type of task. The programmer's manual would be a perfect place to determine if your scope has this functionality.
Also, if this problem was posted in the GPIB forum, you would have gotten more responses.
