TekScope Screen Save Hardcopy to PC

[SabariSaravanan.M]

Hello Supporters,
             I'm using 5k series Tekscope and trying to save hardcopy of Tekscope screen to PC. I ran the VI, where Tektronix posted their forum and it makes it to the visa read vi and then throws an error with code -1073807339. It looks to be a timeout error where nothing is being sent back. When I ran the VI scope is generating a capture png file by itself, but LabVIEW thrown timeout error.
            Even though I was tried many SCPI commands where I found in forum, but I couldn't achieve the result yet (Every commands gives me rapid timeout error).
            Is anybody have a solution for this?
            As shown below image codes are found it in Tektronix forum(It's not working);

2K, 3K, 4K series

5K & Up series

I assume you have turned on tracing and observed your code execute. I will also assume that the error occurs at the VISA.READ command.

Have you read the manual for the hardcopy command? I would assume it would take some time to write to disk, so I would add a delay between the ":HARDCopy STARt;" cmd and the ":READFILE" cmd.

Also the default VISA timeout is 2 seconds, depending on how large of a file you are transferring, it might be running into that limit. Try adjusting the timeout. (VISA Pallet -> Advanced -> VISA Property)

You should really attach your code not post picture of code.  It makes it easier to get help.

In picture 1 the timeout is only 5000ms, why not set it to something much, much longer?  300,000ms?  Its a timeout (maximum wait time before instrument throws an error), so setting it to a very long time shouldn't slow things down.

In picture #2 there is no timeout set, so its likely 1000ms (1s), so why not implement the timeout from image #1 in image #2 and set it to a longer time and see if things work?
