I spent some time during summer break to learn some python for a project I have always wanted to do.

I have an old Tektronix scope that can transmit hardcopies over serial port as a PNG file when you press the “printer” button. This project listens to the serial port and saves transmitted PNG images to your computer’s hard drive.

Serial port, baud rate, and file names are all configurable. Updated to work on Windows and Linux.

Scoped on Github.
