I have another question having to do with writing and reading messages in VISA and the timing protocols that are necessary.
I write a message in VISA. The ethernet device I am writing to accepts this message, processes it, and then gathers data. I have no control of it going through this process of gathering data, I just need to read back the data the device gathers once it is done gathering. This is where I'm unsure on what to do. I know I could set up a timer and have that run for more than enough time so that I write my command on one button click and after the message is sent, I wait for 15 seconds (which is more than enough time) and then read back any information the device has gathered. However, some of the time, it only takes the device 4 seconds to gather data (other times it takes 10 seconds, so its not very consistent, but thats beside the point). Is there a more efficient way I could go about this process. I've read some stuff on event handling in VISA... is this a path I should take, or does anyone have a more efficient suggestion.
Thanks
