Your program is much faster (4 to 5 times faster) to take a screenshot than bildschirmkopie (at least over LAN), and as this is the main functionality, this is important. So do not give up on this, we like it :)

I don't think you've got enough credit for this. Whilst the other program is OK, this is far superior in my eyes.
True, I am connecting via the network, but it is a much slicker way of doing things because I don't have a wire strewn across the desk; my laptop is pulling these images via wifi and I've gotta say - this is fast, fast simple.
The non-install single executable of a couple hundred kb is a splendid touch. The simplicity of only a couple of buttons to either save it to file or copying to clipboard, is all I want from an application like this... and did I mention the speed already....!
If you the sort of person that doesn't like the usb driver warning and don't have an ethernet capability close to your scope, then for the cost of about £15 you can get a wifi bridge and use the USB socket on the front for power, or get a mains plug-in type . It doesn't need to be wireless-N or anything too fancy, hunt around for an older wireless VOIP adapter. It's a relatively cheap upgrade to your scope.

Not sure if this tool is still supported...
Today I tried it for the first time, and I cannot make it work either via USB or LAN (I checked that the oscilloscope is reachable both via USB and LAN from other utilities). I'm still using Windows 7, and here's what I see in the log

(the LAN address is correct and I have added RSC v0.1b.exe to Windows Firewall just in case after a few failures, but no difference)
My device is a DS2302A, with firmware 00.03.05.SP4, HW version 2.0 (it's actually a DS2072A upgraded to DS2302A)

This program is great, having the hotkey binding is really useful, and it's a lot faster than Rigol Bildschirmkopie (which I also use a lot)
Do you plan to develop it further? If not, would you consider sharing the source? You've done all of the hard work getting it to this point, and with some small tweaks this could be perfect for my needs.

Hi.

Yeah, there is a problem with protocol at some firmware, I wrote it to Rigol, but no any answer.
You can try to download v0.3b, connect to device, go to Debug and "Save screen bin" and share it for understand problem.

You can try v0.3b. Attached to this post. Tell me what you are missing and I will try to do my best.
-----------
Version v0.3b was developed a year ago, but I did not upload it because I had problems with oscilloscopes other than ds1054z. I received no response from Rigol, so the project was frozen.
In version v0.3b, a connection to the oscilloscope via IVI LAN has been added in addition to IVI USB (for these two options an appropriate driver is required), the connection to the oscilloscope via LAN TCP is also saved (no drivers are required).
The user interface of the program has also been slightly updated.
