Intuilink Data Capture

[Verbena Reynoso]

I need to do a screen capture of an Agilent spectrum analyzer (Model 4408B) and this SA will output an image in JPEG in 488.2 Definite Length Block format. This means the JPEG file will have a header that starts with a "#", is followed by a single digit that gives the length of a following count field, and then the count field, which gives the length of data being sent. For example, to send a block of 1024 bytes, the header would have the form "#41024"."

...so read the second character 4 in this case to find out how many characters to strip off, in this case 6.

I think old age is catching up to me!! I missed that part of the sentence earlier... sorry about the confusion. I agree that wiring the output of the VISA Write to input of VISA read would not worked..

I am also doing same programming of capturing the screen-shot... But facing error at VISA read always. Please if anyone guide me or just post the program. So it will be very helpful to me. I am attaching my code. I am trying so much with gpib read, receive but nothing is working out... So i will be very thankful and glad if anyone can help me with this.

Agilent IntuiLink is a powerful stand-alone waveform generator application for creating arbitrary waveforms. It can import waveform data from files and capture waveforms using a supported Agilent oscilloscope. Users can modify or design waveforms from scratch with the waveform editor.
