VISA scan/screen capture utility

Here's  https://share.elkengineering.net/-U3YjecZVq6  a minimal Windows utility to scan connected instruments using NI/Agilent VISA (GPIB, USB, ethernet, etc) and display screen shots and ID details.  Supports many brands/models, but notify this thread if your instrument is omitted.  Hope you find it useful. 

Revision v1.0.0.5: Add support for Agilent 53310A MDA
Revision v1.0.0.6: Adds ability to save rendered screen to file

Nice work, and thanks for posting.

If it's not too much work, one useful enhancement could be to support the "SCDP" screen dump command that Siglent uses for some of its products. See colorado.rob's work as mentioned in this message for more information:  https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/the-siglent-sdg2042x-thread/msg2346945/?topicseen#msg2346945 .

Updated v1.04 adds screenshot support for Siglent SDGs. 

KungFuJosh:
Hi,

I tried connecting the app to my Siglent SDG2122X AWG, and I'm not able to get a connection over TCPIP. I've specified  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:Port and I've tried xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port also, but it can't find the device. For the Siglent, the two port options are 5024 (telnet) and 5025 (scpi?).

I noticed in the log it appears to search using the *INSTR query. I tried that over telnet and the SDG does not give any response to that query. Is it possible to try searching using *IDN? instead? Can the search query be specified or overridden in the settings.ini file?

Thanks,
Josh

Josh -

In my experience, LAN devices are rarely (if ever) properly auto-detected by the Agilent Connection Manager or NI Measurement Explorer.  This is unlike unlike USB and GPIB devices, which typically auto-detect properly.   I suspect this is because scanning and auto-detection of LAN devices could be very time-consuming.

For LAN devices, you must first manually add the device to the instrument tree.  Afterwards, it will be detected by my utility and will render a screenshot as illustrated in the attachments.
