Capture screen Agilent 9010A

Hey Guys,

 

iam working since one week with the Agilent N9010A EXA Signal Analyzer. Iam using LabWindows. I established a connection via USB using the Driver below:

 

http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=4107B41C481761E0E0440003BA7CCD...

 

So everything works fine, Iam able to connect, to configure the Device...

But now I have to take a screenshot of a specific Screen. It does not matter if the Screenshot is stored on the Device or send to the Computer. Our customers are used to the screenshots from the Device so if i would reconstruct the whole screens, it would be a mess.

 

Unfortunatly I didnt find any function from the Driver to do that. I read in this forum, that there should be a possibility to programm every function the Device can execute. How can i gather a screenshot?

 

Thank you guys!

How about the novel idea of reading the Programmer's Manual?

Nyc is correct. A driver seldom contains every function that is possible with an instrument. Once you find the commands in the manual, you would use VISA Write and VISA Read functions to implement what you need. You can optionally add to your driver or not.
