First, you have a large message body. Don't try to put everything into the subject line.

Second, explain a bit more about the sending program. What is 'windmill'? A physical windmill or is this a name of a program? Does this 'windmill' send data only once or is it something that is constantly sending data? If it's constantly sending 5 byte packets, you would expect the VISA Read to return the number of bytes you've specified unless the data from the other pc is terminated and you have propertly set the VISA Read to detect the termination.
