I have a 1054Z and use it in a pretty basic manner, but when I want to take screenshots, I find that the Ultrascope software is super crashy. I'm on Win7 64bit. It basically crashes almost every time I run it. I can restart it but it's irritating.

All I need to do is take screenshots, is there a quick way to do that over USB without having to use Ultrascope?

There is a python library+utility which can take screenshots over Ethernet - https://github.com/pklaus/ds1054z

Thanks for that, ATM I don't have an ethernet cable near to the scope, would be easier for me via USB, but I might have to run a cable there later on.

I'm surprised there seems to be no stable way to do it by USB.

Not sure if you've checked out Sigrok, but it does work well for screenshots.

Ultrascope is crap. I’m using lxi-tools and Ethernet to capture screenshots. It’s a command line tool. I run it in WSL on windows 10.

Or USB stick. But that requires carting the stick around.

You can take screenshots by plugging a usb stick into the scope

I know, but I'd much rather do it from my PC than muck around with flashdrives.
