Conversion of PCL (Printer Control Language) data to QImage/QPixmap
-
Dear all,
in order to display the screen image of a 54616B oscilloscope in my Qt application I need to convert the PCL data coming from the instrument to a QImage or QPixmap. The PCL data are available in a QByteArray.
Does somebody know if there is something available out of the box that I could use for this purpose or do I have to write a converter myself?
Thank you for your help and kind regards,
Ralf

There's nothing in Qt's box that will do this peculiar transformation.
Is the Agilent/Keysight IntuiLink software not available to you? This seems to be the supported method of grabbing waveforms as bitmaps as well as other formats.
GhostPCL may be able to transform PCL to something usable.

Thank you for the information.
I wasn't aware that this software is (still) freely available. I will give it a try.
A friend of mine has only very old software that does not handle all HP/Agilent/Keysight scopes. That's why I wanted to write something that handles the three generations of oscilloscopes that we have.
