OSCILLOSCOPE PICTURE IN LABVIEW

[allbig]

HELLO ,

I am trying to make the acquisition and signal processing from an oscilloscope ,

and I 'd like to know if I could have the picture goes on the oscilloscope on labview
" without going through the function graph " the exact image on my oscillocope : see enclosed room.

I believe some of the scopes have web interface, so you can get a picture in browser.

To put it into LV panel, you can use .Net or ActiveX container and Navigate2 address.

This works if webcam is not a solution 😃

There should be a Hardcopy command for the oscilloscope you can use to get the image and save it.  Here is an example of how I did it: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Instrument-Control-GPIB-Serial/Screen-capture-of-Tektronix-MSO4104B-using-La...

hello

your solution is interesting , but being beginner somehow has access

all the functions included can you help me

thank you

First of all, how are you communicating with the oscilloscope?  What model is the oscilloscope (I can tell it is Tektronix at least)?  Are you using the LabVIEW drivers?

[billko]

It looks like a Tek scope, so I think there's a button to save a screen shot; my guess is that function is duplicated programmatically.

hello

I have a tektronix TDS 3052 and I manage to acquire on graphs
available on labview , but instead of the chart I would like the image of my oscilloscope

Why don't you go look at the manual and see?  I'm pretty sure there's a command for that.

Did you look at the VISA Commands I used in the thread I linked to?

[crossrulz]

I stripped out some of my private stuff from the library I showed in the other thread.  I have not tested this exact code with the oscilloscope, so you may need to do some debugging.
