Re: Best way for recording instrument commands

[Noel]

You didn't mention why you wanted to store the instrument state data
to a data file.  Depending on your need, an NI-Spy log might suffice.
NI-Spy allows you to log all your instrument communication to a file.
There are several options that you might want to enable (Log to File,
Large Buffers, etc).  The actual commands you send to the instrument
will also be logged.
