Hi Lester, The 5372A excels in a field where we usually do not go, "high" speed signals. It can time-tag events every 75 ns (in fast mode, 100 ns in normal mode) if needed, and it can also do hardware accelerated histograms. Valuable skills for some tasks. Some have the FFT option. For normal tim

"You can get a bitmap of the screen using "INTERFACE;PSOURCE,DISPLAY;PRINT", but it is not particularly fast and comes with gratis PCL escapes, but it does work." Interesting, I will look into it as a way to get a starting point, atleast for initial tests and diadnostics --
