Capture
The Capture feature has two modes: Screenshot and Stream. Screenshot capture
takes an image of the entire screen and saves it to a USB device. Stream capture
will create a PCAP file capturing up to 2GB of data on a USB device for further
analysis.
Both modes are useful for comparing sources or capturing transient events.
Requirements to use the Capture feature:
•
MP2-IP-MEAS
option installed
•
USB 3.0 stick connected to the rear panel of the PRISM monitor
NOTE.
A USB 3.0 stick, plugged into one of the USB 3.0 ports is strongly
recommended when using the Stream Capture feature. Use the USB ports on the
rear panel of the instrument. Using a USB 2.0 stick or USB 2.0 ports can cause the
stream capture to take an extended period of time.
NOTE.
Maximum stream capture PCAP files are approximately 2GB in size.
