I love this forum the answers are great, accurate, and prompt. Hopefully you guys can answer another one for me. I'm queuing up my oven with various program steps. Embedded in the commands is a "text echo" command so when the oven gets to that point in the queue it echo’s the string “Done!”. I want to wait for this command elsewhere in the code. I tried doing what’s below: (see attached diagram) but it doesn’t seem to be working and really lagging my system down Any advice? The 28 byte maximum length of the TE command text begins immediately after the TE. Internally, the C4 accepts all characters up to the firstterminator (See '7.3.3). When the string is processed, all leading blank characters are stripped and then one leading space is placed between the TE and string upon return.Thus, all of the following:TE123 -45,6<CR><LF> no leading spaceTE 123 -45,6<CR><LF> one leading spaceTE 123 -45,6<CR><LF> multiple leading spaces return TE 123 -45,6<CR><LF> Message Edited by lebogzy on 04-21-2009 09:56 AM

<Sound of head thumping on table> For some reason I thought you were using serial. Forget everything I said about termination characters. You'll still need the part about needing the separate loop if you don't expect a response after each command, but only "every once in a while".

Solved!

Should have made the correction earlier. Didnt realise termination characters didnt make a difference for GPIB.
