Terry,
Thanks for the information.
If you still wanted to try to use the SYST:IMAG:SAV function, there is a common issue that might be tripping you up. For file names over SCPI, standard convention is to include quotes around the file name. So in manuals the command looks like this
SYST:IMAG:SAV “C:\Users\AJ\Documents\SignalHound\images\scpi.png”
In your code though, you will need to be sure to put escape characters before the quotes so they are actually part of the string. So it might look something like this. In C++,
std::string msg = “SYST:IMAG:SAV \”C:\Users\AJ\Documents\SignalHound\images\scpi.png\””;
I find this annoying as it has tripped up many of our customers now, but it makes it really easy to parse filename that include spaces, so I imagine that is why people standardized on this.
I can definitely look into retrieving the temp/voltage through SCPI. This would be a very quick and easy add for us. Look for this in the next release.
Regards
