lucky me owns a Tektronix TDS540 oscilloscope (4 channels, 500MHz BW, 1 GS/s) without floppy drive and BW monitor.
Here's an easy way to create colored .png files from the TDS540 (and probably other TDS series CRO) :
connect the TDS to your PC via RS232
in the Hardcopy Menu set the printer to "EPS Color Encapsulated Postscript color plot"
you should obtain two files TDSsnapshot.eps and TDSsnapshot.png
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $device="/dev/ttyS7"; # change this to your needs!
print "ensure the Tektronix prints as \"EPS Color /Encapsulated Postscript color plot/\"\n";
print "connect it to $device (for me: Quatech interface D)\n";
open F, "<$device" or die "cannot open $device\n";
print "\npress the HARDCOPY button\n\n";
my $eps="";
my $i=0;
while (<F>){
s/.*translate 90 rotate$/20.00 20.00 translate/;
$eps .= $_;
print "\rEPS line " . $i++;
last if /^%\%EOF$/;
}
close F or die "cannot close $device\n";
print "\n";
my $outname="TDSsnapshot";
$outname=$ARGV[0] if $ARGV[0];
print "creating $outname.eps\n";
open F, ">$outname.eps" or die "cannot open $outname.eps\n";
print F $eps;
close F or die "cannot close $outname.eps\n";
print "creating $outname.png\n";
open F, "| /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=png256 -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -g630x480 -sOutputFile=$outname.png -_"
or die "cannot pipe into /usr/bin/gs (ghostscript not installed?)\n";
print F $eps;
