Measurement automation can save you a lot of pain in many cases on top of the advantages of higher productivity and greater accuracy in case of performing repeated day-to-day test and measurement tasks. Several examples using simple GPIB commands to capture screen pictures from different instruments to a local PC are given in this article with the complete workable VEE codes shown how to implement. They are easily portable with any programming languages such as Matlab and C or scripts like Perl and Python. If you are interested in how to:
- Save screen image from Agilent DCA-J 86100C to local PC as GIF files.
- Save screen image from LeCroy SDA830ZI-A to local PC as PNG files.
- Save screen image from Agilent E4440A/E4445A spectrum analyzer to local PC as GIF files.
- Dump raw spectrum data from Agilent E4440A/E4445A spectrum analyzer to local PC as text files.
- Dump raw phase noise log plot data from Agilent E4440A/E4445A spectrum analyzer to local PC as text files.
