Example for QP 0,11,b or QP 0,11,B:
The following program reads screen (print) data in PNG format
from a Fluke 19xC instrument and copies this data to the file
SCREEN.PNG. This file can be viewed by loading it into a
graphics editor or browser.
The Read Buffer length for the PC is set to 7500 bytes to
prevent buffer overflow during input from the ScopeMeter.
The communication speed (baud rate) is set to 19200 and after
the data transfer it is reset to 1200 (default baud rate).
