Yes, PNG is great for screen shots. The problem with the 8753D/ES
graphics is that the firmware guys didn't do the best job. They added a
graphics dump, but they only implemented jpg. To make it worse, you
can't download it via GPIB, it has to be stored to a floppy. At least, I
don't see a command to download the JPG via GPIB. If anyone here knows
how, please let me know.
Wow, I can't imagine that any engineer who was able to get hired by HP
wouldn't understand why JPG isn't appropriate for screen shots or other
line art. (or anything else that isn't a continuous-tone natural scene,
which is what JPG was designed for, and the only thing for which it
works well)
