PrintCapture captures printer or plotter hardcopy output from your oscilloscope, logic analyzer, or spectrum analyzer and creates an image file on your PC

Easily Replace Your Printer
or Plotter with PrintCapture!

PrintCapture is essentailly a Windows-based software printer/plotter. Although PrintCapture was designed to replace the printer or plotter normally used with test equipment, such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers, it has also been used in applications that we never envisioned or even knew about. Customers are now using PrintCapture with injection molding machines, Humphrey Field Analyzers used in eye examinations, paper processing machines, Hoffman balancing machines, cotton analyzers, and flight simulators to name a few.

If your source device (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer, etc.) was designed to use a Hewlett-Packard pen plotter (HP7550A, HP7475A, etc.), Hewlett-Packard LaserJet, DeskJet, ThinkJet, etc., or an Epson printer for its output then there is a very good chance that you can replace your printer or plotter with PrintCapture.

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words!

This is a typical setup using an oscilloscope to view a circuit's waveforms. This oscilloscope supports both PCL and HPGL hardcopy outputs to a serial, parallel, or GPIB (IEEE-488) printer or plotter. PrintCapture replaces the printer or plotter so the waveform image is created in your PC. The image captured can be seen below in PrintCapture's screen-shot.

The oscilloscope image from above is reproduced by PrintCapture as shown below.
