First, it is a 'serial' port, not a 'serious' port.

Now, onto your question....

Using the VISA "configure port" function, there is an option to 'enable termination character'.
Wire a 'True' to this. Then, whenever you encounter a termination character, it will end the read.

This way, you can use a 'visa read' in a For loop. It will read each line, then stop at each termination character.

Since it is in a For loop, it will then build an array of the data.

This data can be sent to 'write to spreadsheet file', so you can use the data in Excel if you want.
