ABOUT Graphs?????????????

Hello all,
I am sending PRINT command to Tecktronix Oscilloscope and reading the scope screen data as a binary or Hex format. Now I want to view this graph through a viewer. Actually this scope is compatible with the HPGL printer. So I founf a HGPL CAD viewer. Now to view this graph I basically want to convert this binary /Hex file to ASCII to view it in the CAD viewer so that I can save the file.

Hope I am clear what I need to do.
Looking for immediate replies,

VIkram

The most common way in LabVIEW of getting acquired data from an instrument is by using a driver or collection of instrument-specific vi's.
Call the instrument vi's and you can easily get the waveforms or calculated values that are shown on the instrument-screen.
Send these waveforms to a graph and the values to indicators on a frontpanel you can design in minutes.
