passing command to VISA write

I'm passing a command from the main vi to subvi. There's a problem that the subvi always attach extra"\" before an "r" which is the carriage return, example if the comman uses is "reset" for resetting I write "reset\r" in the main vi and passes it to subvi, but we I look at the subvi it attach extra"\" so the command to be sent now looks as "reset\\r". Why is that the case? Is there any way to fix the problem?

Don't worry, there is no extra "\" really. The lower level control has a property called "\ codes" enabled that allows you to see characters that are nomally invisible.

\r = carriage return
\n = lineeed
\t = tab
\s = space

Hope this helps.
