How can I capture then convert to BMP a screendump from a device in Epson ESC/P printer format?

I am using a Tektronix VM700 which can only output a screendump by "printing" to the serial port. I want to capture this data (of variable length) then convert it to BMP. Has anyone done this before or has an Epson-format-to-BMP routine?

Hi Simon,
Try this and see if it works. I don't know if there are different Epson formats. This VI handles monochrome pics only.
I had the same problem when a thermal printer died, and I decided to capture the "graphics" per PC instead of on paper. I've been using it for my purposes for years. Dunno if it'll work for you, but you can try it and see. I think my printer worked with ESC/K, but maybe it'll give you a start at least.
Shane.

How can I delete my apple ID and/or iCloud from a device I no longer have?

I sold an iPhone to a guy but my apple ID is still logged in. He cannot transfer his contacts to the phone. He said I have to call the carrier. I don't see why he cannnot go into settings on the phone, click iCloud and delete account. He says he cannot do this. I called Apple, they said I could go to iCloud.com and sign in and delete my account from that device, but I can't figure out how to do that. Any ideas?
Thanks

How can I get a list of available shared variables from my device?

I have to develop a program to connect to many OPC ready devices. I don't have these devices yet but I have setup two PCs. One is simulating a device. Does anyone know how to read a list of the available shared variables on a device or on another PC so that I can use them later on in the program for reading and writing?
Thanks
Matt

There is a community example that lays out what I think you want to do. You can find it here:

How can I capture in forms the text from a database error

In forms6i, how can I capture the text of an error during the execution of a dabatase procedure or package.

You can use SQLERRM function :
SQL> create or replace procedure procerr
2 is
3     n number;
4 begin
5     n := 1/0;
6* end;
SQL> /
Procedure created.
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> declare
2     err1    varchar2(200);
3 begin
4     procerr;
5 exception
6     when others then
7             err1 := SQLERRM;
8             dbms_output.put_line(err1);
9* end;
SQL> /

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

Rodney
I see what you mean....Premiere Elements 10 appears to be the last version that had options for the user to select Capture Video and/or Audio in the its Capture Window.
If you are doing DV data capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 11 Capture Windows and want a final file without audio and you cannot do this at the camera level, then consider....
1. Do the Capture "to the Timeline" - video linked to audio result on the project's Video Track 1
a. Right click the Timeline DV AVl and select Delete Audio and then edit accordingly.
or
b. Import the DV AVI but, when you go to export it, in the export settings, remove the check mark next to Audio so that the export contains only the video portion.
Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thank you.

HT1296 How can I capture and save an image on my screen for later retrieval

Thanks, Don.

Its easy to take an iPad screenshot. Press & release the Home and the Power buttons quickly at the same time. I have trouble with that so I press & hold the Home button and then very quickly press and release the Power button. Your screenshot is stored in the Camera Roll of the Photos app. Probably the easiest way to get it to your PC is to be using iCloud, or email it to your PC. There are also some wireless sync apps in the iTunes app store that let you send photos from the iPad to a Mac or PC. I use PhotoSync.

How can I capture screen video (as opposed to just a screen shot) from my iPad?

How can I capture a video shot of my iPad 2 (as opposed to a still screen shot)?

Thanks so much for your reply. How would I go about mirroring the ipad screen onto my laptop? If I could do that, then I would think I could use Camtasia to get the video shot. I know I can use and hdmi conncetion to get the ipad screen to show on my TV but I'm not sure how to do it on my computer since it doesn't have an hdmi connection.

Oracle Trigger - How can I capture and correct on the fly ORA-01847

Oracle Trigger - How can I capture and correct on the fly ORA-01847 day of month must be between 1.
I have a table that has a date column. Sometimes an invalid date is passed and I'd like to capture and initilize the incoming value to null and have it inserted without error. Currently I get ORA-01847 day of month must be between 1.
Example:
create table ep1
col_1 number,
col_2 date
Now if a user does the following, I want no error to occure but rather for the date value to be set to null and inserted.
insert into ep1 values('1', '41-JAN-13')
The insert may come from any client and I can't change the calling code hence can't used a precedure to replace the insert. I'm guessing there is some way to catch system level exceptions on the DB level. This doesn't need to be nice, it just needs to work.
Here is the question on experts exchange. I'm told there is no way, but there must be. After all the exception is on a DB system level and I would think one could extend or override these, or disable them.

How can I capture / download ( save to my PC) a JW PLayer Video that is being broadcast - I wish to capture a streaming video that is being played with JWplayer?

Hi there
Likely you will need to capture using a different tool than Captivate. Then you might save in a format Captivate understands (such as FLV or SWF) then insert that into Captivate.
Cheers... Rick

Hi, I upgraded my girlfriend's iPad 2 using my iMac, however, her iPad was sync with her PC. Although I've made backup earlier, when I restore from backup the apps doesn't sync back, neither her documents on pages. How can I put then back to her iPad?

Hi, I upgraded my girlfriend's iPad 2 using my iMac, however, her iPad was sync with her PC. Although I've made backup earlier, when I restore from backup the apps doesn't sync back, neither her documents on pages. How can I put then back to her iPad?

The backup saves many settings, but it copies photos and other files from the computer back to the iPad after IOS5 wipes the disk. Plugging it into her computer will re-sync it.

Hi
My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
Good luck

Using final cut or any other application, how can I capture a specific number of screen caps? Each video will have a different length.

Bob,
Please clarify your question. Are you asking about screen captures? If so, what software are you using and what does this have to do with FCP?
