Here is the LV 8.2.1 Version.

i have some errors. pls see attached diagram.

the output from the instrument is a string data, i converted it to a binary file then to be read as a .gif file but i got some errors.

do you have any information regarding the error:

error 50001 : This version is not yet supported!

error 50002

Although the data is binary you have to use the "Write To Text File" function and make a right click and uncheck "Convert EOL". The icon will then look the same as in the palette.

Here is another discussion about getting a gif-file from an instrument and save it to a file.

hi Waldemar,

i tried to use the vi you have sent.

I only got this, please see attached file.

i didnt get the whole picture.

but if i view the file in other picture viewer i can see the complete screen dump.

cmdrb,

look at the Gif.Example.vi which is part of the zip-Archive.

You can see how to resize the picture indicator and you have to use Index Array to get just one picture.
