Post From: UDP Interface - Get Image from Chart

Hello,

I try but without real success.

All my test with the Chart Number does not work. SierraChart tries to start always a new Chart with a Symbol not found.
A screenshot will be made from this new Chart.

If I send the "IMAGE_REQUEST--F.US.EPH23.scid--640--480--20--C:/temp/image.png" than SC starts a new Chart with the correct Symbol. If a Chartbook is active/visible which is using the F.US.EPH23 already than the resolution of one of this Chart will be set to 640x480.

Maybe it is not possible what i am looking for:

I do work with different Chartbooks, one for each Symbol.

In each Chartbook I have 5 Charts (Daily, 15Min, 1Min and so on) open.

I would like to get a screenshot from one of these Charts within the Chartbook by sending the UDP Image Request.

To go more details:

In case I open a Trade or get a fill, a system behind sends a UPD Requests to my SierraChart system.
take a screenshot from Chart#1 of F.US.EPH23 20 Candle 640x480 Filename1
take a screenshot from Chart#2 of F.US.EPH23 20 Candle 640x480 Filename2
take a screenshot from Chart#3 of F.US.EPH23 20 Candle 640x480 Filename3

And without changing the resolution of the Chart(s).

Is this possible?

In the past I used settings with Multi Instances of SC, but on a Client Instances the Market Depth, which is use, is not available. Additional the Shortkey Navigation like in Chartbooks, which I use, is not available.

Thanks for you answer
best regards
