The data in a PNG image file will contain pixel data for the image, but
not in a directly readable form, as the image data is stored in a
compressed format. The size of the image file is therefore generally
much smaller than the image itself. You will need to allow enough room
in the waveform record and in $EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTE for the size of
the file. You will probably need to determine empirically what size this
is, recognizing that it is somewhat variable, depending on the exact
content of the image, so selecting an arbitrarily large enough size is
probably the best approach.
Without having the manual for your scope, I am only theorizing, but it
is possible that the binary image data returned by the scope contains
some scope-specific header which is intended to be stripped off before
storing the image file data. This might also depend on other persistent
settings within the scope, such as any 'HEADERS' and 'VERBOSE' settings.

Could you also explain to me how the trasformation image binary file ->
waveform and back happens? As I understand an image is roughly a set of
pixels each with its own color. There is also a header (which we don't
need?) Then we read the file and forward every byte into the waveform
record which is of type unsigned char (integers 0-255) with a size =
1byte. So in order to get an image out of the waveform we should break
the waveform N times with an interval M (if our image dimensions are
N*M). There is also a Color map which specifies what color our integers
equal to.
Now when we want to convert our waveform back to file we are using the
chr(x) function, I don't know why.
Next thing as you mentioned is the NELM field and
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTE variable. So if our image is say 400*300 24 bit
BMP image, does it mean we should set NELM=400*300 and
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTE=400*300*24?
I would be grateful to hear your comments.
Thank you.
