Tommy,
You have to write a wrapper routine to create a TEK preamble to your image,
then add your data. We have several routines that open a file, write the
preamble, then use a TV_READ to capture the image off the screen. It's a
bit complicated, but it can be done. If you want these programs, contact
me. I also suggest you get your hands on the 4693 DX programmers manual.
