It's not a bug of the scope, it's limitations of the web browser as explained well above by 2N3055.
Well, I still do not own the scope yet but ...
I would think twice before blaming a modern browser; Java is not used in browsers since a few years; Javascript is a completely different beast.
Browsers *are* capable of handling a lot of data; just open Youtube home page and continue to scroll down.
You can watch a 4K movie and that could be a 100Mbit/sec of data.
It's the interaction between the web server and the browser and I would say the web server was not designed with that scope in mind.
I totaly agree for some kind of jobs Python could be better but if I am not wrong here we are speaking about 78 byte?
78byte are 78 characters ... I will not count the characters illustrated in eTobey's post but I guess they are more than 78.
Even 78kB is a small amount; a modern web page's HTML is more tahn that.
IMHO issue should be definitely investigated.
If you want to play with browsers capabilities you can do that without scope.
This is tangential discussion about mating rituals of Africa swallows..
eTobey claims something is wrong with SCPI on the scope.
There is not, because if you use propper SCPI client, there are no errors.
So problem is with SCPI client component on the web page.
And while technically that is a bug (in web interface) that is definitely abuse of simple SCPI component that was designed to be simple interface for simple commands.. It is used for getting scope ID, viewing or installing options and such.
Using that small window to get data from the scope is not very smart or usefull on many levels.
Firstly, it was never meant to be used for that.
Second, why on earth you want to do that?
You by hand type in SCPI command and then you copy result to clipboard and paste it into some editor to save to disk... Err, no thank you.
If you want to pull SCPI data you pull it directly into your program. Use SCPI library (one of many) from NI Visa (officially supported) to many Python direct ones...
If you want to download data to your PC, map a folder on your PC to a scope (server and client is supported) and dump data directly as a file to a disk....
Do not make a mistake, it will be reported and if they can debug/improve/upgrade (choose your favorite word, so nobody feels excluded) they will. But this is not very big problem. It is not mainstream use of this component. So don't expect priority overnight fix.
If some SCPI expert here (there seem to be many) test deeper and finds real problems when SCPI is used with proper SCPI client on other side, please let us know.
