To send a BMP screen capture to a PC:

You can send a screen capture of the oscilloscope to your PC using hyperterminal. All oscilloscope bitmaps in this manual where generated using this method.

• Open HyperTerminal.
• Enter a name for a new connection (example: scope).
• Enter the COM port where the device is connected.
• Select 115200 bits per second, 8 data bits, Parity None, 1 Stop bit, Flow control None

• In the Transfer menu, select Receive File.
• Enter a folder where to save the file and use the XMODEM protocol.

• Enter a file name with a BMP extension and press OK

To send a BMP screen capture to Linux:

Matt Pritty has shared a script for capturing the BMP file:

capture.sh

To use, make the script executable with ?chmod +x capture.sh?. Then enter ?./capture.sh? into a terminal followed by the serial device for example ?./capture.sh /dev/ttyUSB0?.

Then enter a name for the bmp image including the .bmp file extension.
