Here is an example from a DSO-X 3024A scope, where a few lines of text have been added on screen to memorialize the test conditions. BTW, the text was entered using an external keyboard connected to the scope via USB. Quite convenient. |

Haven't even heard of someone featuring this in a scope review. Ever! Will start looking into Siglent now I still want to label the screenshot at point of capture though - I have hundreds of screenshots and don't want them jumbled up --- End quote --- I love the Siglent SDS2000XP series scopes. That's what I'm using now. I use the web console all the time. You can make the scope view full screen, and then capture. I did a quick demo of that here (it's a slow signal, but it's practically real-time when comparing to the scope): On an older review when I still had the SDS1104X-E, I made this demo review, with the web console showing around 5:46: https://youtu.be/HI7DGjgl2tw?feature=shared&t=346 It works exceptionally well, and lightyears ahead of and faster than other brands that I tried (especially Rigol, which I found painfully slow at the time). When doing screenshots, it asks you what to save the file as. Really simple. |

I might be off message, but having done this recently I don’t think the original method used by the OP is unreasonable. If you are literally taking dozens of photos, the last thing I want to be doing after moving the probe to the next pin is faffing around with file names. So, USB stick, pencil and paper with the numbers down the side, and sort out the story-telling later. One idea though, if the oscilloscope has a RTC and that is shown on every capture, then you could put a physical clock or watch in camera view when taking the photos. Or just use the time stamps of the photos as your key between the two. Edit: I misread OP. Yes, you don’t want to be taking actual camera photos of the scope screen these days. In the scenario I was describing, I was correlating photos of the development PCB and the probing with screen captures on the oscilloscope. |
