Hi Ein,

"read buffer" is the label of the string given by VISARead, "write buffer" is the label of the string expected by VISAWrite!

So there is no difference...

Hi Gerd,

Thanks heaps for ur solution 🙂

There is a difference if you try them both with a simple scpi command one works and one doesnt. I have to use string to write to get the command to work.

Hi Dr.,

can you elaborate on what you wrote before? What are you talking about when bringing this old thread back to life?
