Got it, thank you.
AlfBaz:
Been a while since I used it. If I'm not using labview and NI's drivers I'm using C/C++ and agilents visa dll
I'm about to go out right know, if you haven't managed to get it going when I get back, I'll install it at my end to see if I can help
rx8pilot:
Thank you, I will continue to plug away at it to see if I can hack my way through.

So far, the Tek Wavestar application is not happening. I have tried with both NI-VISA and TEK VISA with no luck communicating at all. The NI-VISA can send/receive commands and responses so at least there is a connection from PC to instrument. The manual indicates you can use whatever VISA you want but it's not clear how to make that happen.

No better luck with GPIB Toolkit either. The 7470 emulator functionally is exactly what I was hoping for, but cannot get it to connect. The GPIB Configurator seems to be only for Prologix.

I think the plotter emulator is not what you need.  I believe the TDS scopes have a hardcopy command of some sort that will return the image in BMP format directly.  Just capture the output of the command and save it to a file and you should be good to go.
