Application to capture SVGA screen (P3) info in a file format?

I want to capture a snap shot of the information that the P3 generates and subsequently displays on my SVGA monitor in a common file format so I can send it over the internet.

Are there any applications that will do this?

Thanks

Jim

Hi Jim,

The SVGA card actually performs its own, wider FFT of the I/Q data developed in the P3 front end. If you want to take a picture of the SVGA screen, plug a FLASH drive into the USB connector on the back of the P3/SVGA and then use the Ubmp selection under the SVGA sub-menu. If you want to take a picture of the P3 display, use the P3 Utility and select the Capture Image tab.

Hi Jim,
Expanding a bit on Joe's and Jim's response, the utility saves the images as .PNG if you want perhaps a .JPG image view the image in your computers preview software and then "save as" what file format you want. For example the Apple will view the .PNG images from the P3 utility and let you save it as .TIFF, .PDF or .JPG. If you have a version of Photoshop it will allow you to save the image in a mind blowing number of formats and various versions of those formats.

Hope this helps,
73,

For those who are Windows-based, IrfanView is a shareware viewer that
also does a very good job of manipulating images (crop, resize, format
changes).

It'll read something like a .bmp (uncompressed bitmap, huge) and turn it
into a 64 color .GIF or .PNG or .JPG that is suitable for E-Mail or Web.

You can find it at IrfanView.com.

Re: Application to capture SVGA screen (P3) info in a file format?

P3 Utility automatically copies the BMP screen image to the Windows
clipboard. So you can just open your favorite graphics software and
paste it in. I generally just use the "Paint" program that comes free
with Windows. From Paint you can save it in PNG, JPEG, GIF or TIFF format.
