Did you download the instrument drivers for the scope:

You probably want to take a look at the "Plug and Play" ones, as they're written in LabVIEW. I haven't looked at them, but there's probably a VI in there to get the waveform. You can use the IVI drivers, but you'll need to install the IVI Compliance Package.

If you are looking to grab the screen dump from the instrument (output to an HPGL device like the 7470A plotter) then you could use Printcapture, IntuiLinkPlottergeist  or features of the GPIB toolkit.

These will capture a screenshot, not transfer the data that created the image. The alternative is to download the data using the drivers mentioned and then create your own chart/graph using LabVIEW.  You could save the image to a file using the indicator's methods and properties from the block diagram.

Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
