My bad. I understood you wanted to take snapshots of any screen during runtime.

The following technote answers the question Can I copy the MER application to/from a PanelView Plus using a USB drive, CF or SD card?:

Maybe this other technote could be helpful:

In summary, PV Plus 6/7 has a clone function and it's intended for OEMs who want to copy the same image to multiple terminals. There's more details in the PV's user manuals (both PV6 and PV7).

I like this idea now you have mentioned it ?
I could see a use for this if we was running the machine very well then press a print button to copy the line running settings
could you copy multi screen shots in runtime to usb with a click of a button thanks stu

I don't know about saving screenshots to USB, but if you just want to record the settings shown on a screen, you can do this with the DataStorePlus ActiveX control. Here's a thread from late last year where I was doing a similar thing.
