Bonjour Tom, peut vous essayer et expliquer votre problème mieux. Je suppose que vous courez le matériel de GPIB et vous employez le logiciel de GPIB et les conducteurs de Ni désolé pour mon français, l'anglais est ma deuxième langue, je suis afrikaans.

Hello Tom,

There can be two causes to your situtation :
1. the TIFF file is indeed partially transfered from your GPIB device to your PC,
2. the TIFF file is totally transfered but you can't display it completely as a string.

In the first case, you must be carefull to the termination character (EOI). The transfer will be interrupted if the EOI character is encountered in the TIFF file.
In the second case, you may have a NULL character in your buffer. This character is the string termination character in C language. If you buffer is declared as a C string, the end of the string is considered to be the NULL character. You wil find information on how to workaround this problem in the following KB.
