Help transferring a screen capture file (.gif) of an Agilent E4443A to a PC over GPIB???

[Mal_G.]

I'm currently using an Agilent PSA Series Spectrum Analyzer E4443A which has an internal HD, but not accessible via LAN like the newer Window based Analyzers. I've read the programmer's manual and tried the examples, but no luck. I'm able to send the command in Labview to capture the screen using ":mmem:stor:scr 'C:mal.gif' " and that work's fine. I'm having trouble with using the " :mmem:data? 'C:mal.gif' " Not sure how to handle VISA read calls to get the data to a file. Example attached.

Hi Mal G,

What are you experiencing when you run your VI? Are you getting any specific errors? Is the file not showing up in your C drive? How doyou know itis not working?

I have the same problem with Agilent E4447.

With the command "MMEM:STOR:C\111.GIF", I can store the .gif file to the E4447 C Drive, but how to transfer the picture to my PC?

Read the programmer's manual.

And if you are asking us to write the C# code for you, that is *your* job.

I ran into the same issue and got it working using the Python PyVISA library. I have a working example and instruction on GitHub:
