I think the output from this device is in HP Paintjet format if I rember correct this software is able to read paintjet format files http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/


Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Hey cmdrb,

 

I'd take a look at the user manual for this device, found here : http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5963-2930.pdf

I think that using the Print commands is sending printer data, and not necessarily a readable screenshot. You might have to use a different command to get this information, or the software that t06afre posted.

thanks to both of you.

i tried to use the third party software ' PRINT CAPTURE' that t06afre suggested, so far it works. 

 

thanks again
