DS1054Z_screen_capture

‘OscScreenGrabLAN.py’ is a Python script that captures whatever is displayed by the screen of a Rigol DS1000Z series oscilloscope. To achieve this, SCPI commands are sent from the computer to the oscilloscope using the LXI protocol. The computer and the oscilloscope are connected together by a LAN. No USB, no VISA, no IVI and no drivers are required. Python 2 is required. Python 3 is not supported.

Tested only with Windows 7, Python 2.7.9 and Rigol DS1104Z (a fully upgraded DS1054Z oscilloscope).

Usage:

Connect the computer and the oscilloscope together by LAN. Run ‘OscScreenGrabLAN.py’ in order to capture an image from the oscilloscope display, and save it to the computer disk.

Example:

C:\Python27\python.exe OscScreenGrabLAN.py
