The Capture feature has two modes: Screenshot and Stream. Screenshot capture
will capture the entire screen and save to a USB device. Stream capture will create
a PCAP file and store the file on a USB device for later recall to the instrument or
for further analysis. Both modes are useful for comparing sources or capturing
transient events.
Requirements to use the Capture feature:
MP-IP-CAP option must be installed for stream captures.
USB 3.0 stick connected to the rear panel of the PRISM monitor.
NOTE.
A USB 3.0 stick, plugged into one of the USB 3.0 ports is strongly
recommended when using the Stream Capture feature. Use the USB ports on the
rear panel of the instrument. Using a USB 2.0 stick or USB 2.0 ports can cause
the stream capture to take an extended period of time.
NOTE.
Stream Capture PCAP files are approximately 2GB in size.
1. From the Settings menu, select Capture.
NOTE.
If the Capture configuration menu does not appear under the settings
menu, option MP-IP-CAP and configuring stream captures are disabled.
2. Select Screenshot under Capture Type.
