Looking to upgrade to a DHO914 when they are in stock so I thought I would first experiment with my MSO1074Z logging to a PC, it is then I ran across RoGeorge's posts. :)

Glad you found that useful, thank you and have fun experimenting! :-+

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded Ubuntu 22.04 into VirtualBox, used 'snap' to install lxi-tools and it all seems to run. :)
RoGeorge:
If you have Ubuntu, then there's nothing to install, open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+t) and try this trick (not mine):
--- Code: ---echo ":DISPLAY:DATA? ON,OFF,PNG" | nc -w1 192.168.32.208 5555 | dd bs=1 skip=11 of=image.png
--- End code ---
If you use the address of your oscilloscope (connected in the same LAN with the PC), then that command line will save the oscilloscope's screen as 'image.png', nothing to install of course. ;D
For Rigol oscilloscopes, you may want to consider the DSremote, too, also not mine.

I must say VirtualBox and VMs have improved since I last used one. I was able to download Qt plus the compiler and the DSRemote source and compile the whole thing. It didn't feel like a VM but a real linux machine. So much easier than previously.
