Dear all,
I am new to this web. I am trying to program PSA E4440A Spectrum Analyser to take a screen shot of it current measurement using LabView 8.0(SCPI commands).
I cannot find any SCPI command or defined VI which will force the Spectrum Analysier to do so. I am aiming to get the screen shot being saved on the PC under a specifed directory NOT on the spectrum analyser hard drive/flash memory.
Please help with any releveant information.
Best Regards,
Bashar

I don't know of a Labview VI that will accomplish this. I do know there is a VI that functions as a pass-though that will allow you to send SCPI commands directly to PSA. You can use that VI and the following SCPI commands to create your screen shot file in the PSA flash memory and then transfer the file to your PC. You can then delete the file from your PSA if you chose. This can all be done via SCPI.
MMEM:STOR:SCR 'C:/MYSCREEN.GIF'
// This command creates a gif screen shot image
// named MYSCREEN.GIF the file on the PSA C: drive
MMEM:DATA? 'C:/MYSCREEN.GIF'
// This command will return the file in binblock format
MMEM:DEL 'C:/MYSCREEN.GIF'
// This command will delete the file from PSA
I don't have much experience with Labview, but I image there may be some file management VIs that would also allow you to move files from your PSA to your PC.
Best Regards,
