Hi,
i am a student at the "Hochschule Emden-Leer". My prof ask me to get some information why our oscis don't send the screen image over rs 232 to the PC.
I installed
If i only try to get a waveform it's ok, but if i try to get the data of the screen the programm is generation an error msg.
I guess there is something wrong with the buffer of the COM-Port. Changing the size from max to min to deliver the packeges earlyer make no changes of the behavior.
Model: 54622D
Softwareversion: A.01.20 Aug 17 2000

2. Since you have the IVI-COM driver installed, I believe it has a function called GetScreenBitmap (or something similar under the Display node, I can't recall the exact name). This is somewhat similar to #1.
3. The connection (VISA?) timeout needs to be large enough for the bitmap-saving operation to complete. Setting the timeout to 20 seconds should be sufficient. This applies to everything: Data Capture program, SCPI, IVI-COM, etc.
I'll try it on a COM port myself when I get a chance sometime this week.
