Use Lecroy 44Xi-A scope as chart recorder

[RTSLVU]

How would on go about using a Lecroy 44Xi-A scope as a chart recorder, or any DSO for that matter? It would seem to me that this should be possible as these scope are really nothing more than a Windows PC with a high speed DAQ. Even the "scope" runs as a program under Windows.

There are decent LV libraries for the 44XI-A but they really only allow saving and transferring trace, trace data, or screen shots after the scope has been triggered and acquisition is complete. 

I want to put the scope in auto trigger and stream the acquisition data directly to a (TDMS?) file. 

Turning ths scope into somethign like a Yokogawa Scopecorder.

RTSLVU,

I would look through the programming manual and see if the Lecroy 44Xi-A allows for what you are asking:  http://cdn.lecroy.com/files/manuals/automation_command_ref_manual_wr.pdf
