TDS6804B screen capture with optional file overwrite

I have a TDS6804B and I need to save a screen capture as a BMP.  However, I need have the option (via some sort of popup question) to save over the file if it exists already.  I'm sure that I'l figure out the whole thing eventually, but if someone has a solution already, I'd appreciate the assistance (as would my boss).
Thanks,
Allen
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the instrument driver, and I made a simple vi to "export" the
scope screen, but I wanted some sort of dialog only if the file already
existed.  So...I made a set of vi's.  I've attached them in case anyone
needs a simple file replacement option when exporting the screen for a
6000 series scope.  The "File Overwrite.vi" should be of use to
anyone.  I'm not sure how well I "wrote" these (and... whether they're
worth sharing), but they should do what I need anyway.

  • Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
    Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
    Good Luck.

  • Screen Capture with Video of Presenter

    How do I make a screen capture with a video of the presenter (me). Is this built into captivate? It is simple with Camtasia. I could not find this option in captivate. Does it exist?

    Sorry, doesn't exist in Captivate. Perhaps try Adobe Presenter Video Creator.
    Sounds like you already have Camtasia, I'd stick with that for this type of work. Actually, if you want full motion video, Camtasia is the better choice, Especially when it comes to the editing process.
    Captivate rocks for the slide by slide capturing and creating interactive "video" type output. But Camtasia leaves it in the dust when it comes to the full motion video. Camtasia sucks for creating interactive type videos that Captivate does. Just different tools for different workflows.

  • I use Apple TV's screen saver with a file in my photo library.  If I install newest update - will that change anything with my using this favorite feature?  I have just under 4000 photos in that file.  What is the total # of photos it can utilize?

    I use Apple TV's screen saver with a file in my photo library.  I believe it is first generation or second Apple TV - not the newest one.
    If I install newest update - will that change anything with my using this, my favorite feature?  I have just under 4000 photos in that file. 
    And, what is the total # of photos it can utilize?  If I keep adding photos - is there a limit to the # it will utilize?

    Thank you Alan and  know you are right. I really can do all I need with my netbook and ereader and do not need the ipad. I think I just wanted something new and felt I may enjoy using it a lttle more than the netook. But it would be a waste just to buy one when I donlt acutally need it  And, donl't think it is worth the extra money for me the get the 4g wireless capability since I doubt I would really need it often.
    I may treat myself to the Ipad for the color, touchpad and fun to use but it is very expensive considering how little it will do for me no more than the things I want it for. It woudl be and expensive luxuray, I can do without. I actually  need t learn how to use more of the function avaiable first.  Maybe I should take up playing games and learning to take digital pictures so I can at least load them. If I could learn to do that and take a decent picture, I could start selling back all the "stuff" I have purchased on ebay. haha - I do have a nice doll collection, I would like to sell. I just do not have room for anything else. That was the primary purpose for the Kindle Ereader I bought and enjoy so much,
    But, I will hold onto the thought for a while and see how it goes and what other comments I get, If I think I cannot live without it, then I will have to rethink which one to buy, I coud get the 32 g if I did not have to pay for the 4g wireless. And, if I knew I could get help to teach me how to use and enjoy all the functions, I would give it more serious consideration. My granddaugther got one for Christmas and that was what got me interested in it. I love the size of the screen and it had good color and was fast. She even had an application where she could write her notes and it would convert into typed words. That was a neat feature, If you could print it?
    But thanks again for your comments and I will check later to see I get any other feedback.

  • Screen Capture with ActionScript

    Dear all,
    As most of previous posts, I've client application written by
    flash which enable user to create some mind map. Certainly, a
    screen snapshot of the mind map for a thumbnail to png or jpeg and
    uploading to server are necessary features. My developing
    environment is flash, FMS, Apache, PHP and MySQL.
    After searching Google and this forum, I found three options
    available with it's limitation:
    1. Use third party fake web cam driver (monitor pretending
    web cam) but which induce the cost of buying the driver. I just
    wonder if flash 8 can include another class for monitor just like
    the web cam.
    2. With Flash 8, use BitmapData class and post the pixel
    data. It's too horrible if you've a few hundred users.
    3. Writing some plugin to do the screen capture and
    communicate either with the client flash or directly to the PHP
    server. In my project, I prefer the plugin (e.g. written by Java)
    to communicate with flash. As the flash application now already use
    XML to communicate with the PHP server, I would like to use XML to
    communicate between Java and Flash. I haven't check details for the
    Java documentation, I just assume it'll work.
    May be the most practical way is to direct the user to print
    screen and save the file as jpeg or png. However, we developer
    should develop usability. Can anyone suggest some better way to do
    it? Is there any class or tools exist in FMS can make the job
    better done? I'm new to FMS.
    Best regards,
    Teres

    Sounds like you might be running flash in your browser, which
    have no
    solution for, but if yoy are - or can run flash as an exe
    then you can
    make it with mProjector, which adds a captureScreen call into
    Flash

  • Screen capture with keynote presentations

    After switching from PP to Keynote a year ago, my only disappointment is that I can't do screen-capture of my presentations. With PP, I could use the screen capture program SnapzPro to make a movie of my presentation, with voice over. Typically, if a particular slide didn't go well in class, I would record myself talking through the animations (bringing on pieces of a diagram one at a time, for example), and then post the resulting video on my course website. Doesn't work with Keynote, however, and the SnapzPro people don't have any info about when this problem might be solved from their end. Is there some other program I should be using? Does Apple itself make anything that will do the trick? Is solving this problem something Apple is working on? Or, am I stuck redoing my slides in PP?

    Hi there
    I read your post. I use Snapz Pro X too, and I was surprised to learn it doesn't work with Keynote. Here's a possible work around.
    Record your voice-over on any recorder and export to itunes or if you have sound studio loaded on your mac, use it. From the inspector you can access you voice-over for use in your project.
    I've recorded a voice-over in sound studio for a keynote project. From sound studio I export to my desktop. From the desktop I drag and drop the audio onto the slide I need the voice-over on. This works well for me. try it.
    Once you've got it set the way you like, export the Keynote project to QT or whatever format you like. In QT, the project will play like a movie. You can save the file, burn to a disk, or post to a web page.
    I hope this helps

  • Shading screen captures with drop-shadows

    Hi there, everyone.
    I have a bunch of screen-captures (.png) that I need to darken/shade so I can highlight a particular button or text box. The trouble is that these screens all come with a surrounding drop shadow, which I don't want to darken/shade. The images are all of different dimensions, but the drop-shadow is always the same, so I was hoping to insert a gray box (with rounded corners, in case that matters) via script or action that is a fixed number of pixels (x by y) smaller than the canvas (and a couple pixels north of center).
    Anybody know how to do this, or have a better idea?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    On the Mac at least those window-shadows are transparent and have RGB-values of 0/0/0, so one need not mask them out if one clipping masks a black layer to the window’s screenshot and reduces that layer’s transparency according to taste. (Clipping Mask can be created by setting »grouped« for the top layer to »true« in JavaScript.)
    Edit: Sorry, I assumed you were talking about screenshots of single windows, but you probably mean screenshots of the whole desktop, so above would be of no use to you.

  • Can you do screen capture with adobe CC product?

    What I am looking at doing is recording some educational video where part will be just a copy of a recording from camera but I want to be able to switch to what the student would see is happening on my computer screen as I continue to narrate the lesson then go back to a normal video.  I see this being done all over but it is new to me.  I have the full subscription to Abode CC.  Can anyone point me to the application or applications that will do this.  Hope this is clear enough?

    On the other hand, I use a very good screen capture program that is free.
    For software tutorials, I use this: CamStudio - Free Screen Recording Software
    Just be careful to record using a good codec. I use Lagarith. It is lossless and is easily edited in Premiere Pro.
    For static screen shots to post in the forum or if I don't need motion, I use the Snipping Tool that comes with Windows 7.

  • Recording Quicktime Screen Capture WITH system audio

    Picked up Snow Leopard earlier today. All installed, nice upgrade.
    I've got a question regarding the new QuickTime. With the new QuickTime feature that allows you to capture screen movements and save as a .mov file, is it possible to also capture system audio?
    I currently see 3 audio input options: 1.) built in mic, 2.) Soundflower (2ch), and 3.) Soundflower (16ch).
    I've tried both of the "Soundflower" options (I don't know what these are) and they don't seem to be doing anything. One alternative, I suppose, is to play the audio through speakers and let the mic pick it back up .... but there's got to be a better option than that.
    Any suggestions?

    You don't need any third party apps. Simply follow these instructions: http://tinyurl.com/nhw4tu. The functionality is built in.
    You mean "you do not need to pay". The instructions you link to involve a third party application called SoundFlower.

  • E5: black screen problem with FLV file

     give solution.....when i play FLV there is option for  pause, stop but black screen.what may the problem .other file plays normal .help me plzzzz
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The only solution is likely to get a newer phone.  The Flash player on your phone (and mine) is based on Flash 8, which is several years out of date.  Also note it's called Flash Lite, which to me suggests that certain features have been removed.  Your FLV file must be trying to do something the player doesn't support.

  • Help! Screen Capture with JDK 1.1.8

    Hi,
    I have JDK 1.1.8 application. I am looking for a solution that captures screens and saves the image to one of image formats (any one of jpeg or gif or png is fine). In the news group, I found articles of how doing this using later versions of JDK (like using 1.2 or later). I appreciate for any pointers.
    Thanks
    Puri

    There is nothing in JDK 1.1.x or lower that provides this functionality. I'm not sure about 1.2 either. The java.awt.Robot class which has this functionality says since 1.3 in the API docs. If you need this in 1.1 or lower, you need to use JNI if there's a native way to do it, or exec some other application that does this, if there is one installed.
    Or, time to upgrade.
