content: We need to take screen shots of many of our measurements for reporting. The screen shots need to include the time and date of the measurement. Of the example screen shots I've seen, only the time is displayed on the screen. The question is: is there a setting to display the date as well as the time on the screen so that it will be captured by the measurement screen shot?

content: On my TO1104, firmware 7.13.1.373 from 2017-02-10 you can't display the date on the scope screen.The screenshot file names include the date though. (YYYYMMDDhhmmss)

content: Thanks for looking. If it was possible to load apps on the scope there's ones that will add a floating date on the screen but apparently this is not possible either. Post processing could also add a date to the screen captures but this just adds more to the work flow. Perhaps there's a way I haven't thought of?Its a shame because these scopes would have been a good fit for the work we do.

content: I have used screenshots on STO1104E - by default it shows time on lower right corner (HH:MM system clock), but not date. I am not sure if you can expand it to full date. Date is visible in filename though.My requirements usually mean adding annotations afterwards manually, so this is not an issue for me.

content: I have a TO1074, firmware version is 10.15.1.343 and is dated 20/12/2018, it works the same as the others and only displays the time on the screen and any screen shots.The only setting I can see in the menu is to disable or enable the time stamp, there is no option for a date stamp on my version.

content: Good news! A Micsig representative has informed me that there is now an option to turn on date and time stamping of the screen captures. Excellent.

content: In the case the option is available through a firmware update, what useful features is it likely to screw-up in exchange?Firmware updates disabled here since the last one removed a feature I wanted. I'm not trusting them any longer unless Micsig actually goes to the bother of publishing the changes or having feedback from braver users than myself.
