Using National Instruments VISA

If you are using National Instruments VISA, be sure to set the following
variables as follows:

VI_ATTR_SEND_END = VI_FALSE ‘

This specifies whether to assert END

during the transfer of the last byte of the buffer

VI_ATTR_TERMCHAR = 0x0A ‘

This is the termination character. When

the termination character is read and

VI_ATTR_TERMCHAR_EN

is enabled

during a read operation, the read operation terminates.

VI_ATTR_TERMCHAR_EN = VI_TRUE ‘

This is a flag that determines

whether the read operation should terminate when a termination
character is received.

VI_ATTR_SUPPRESS_END_EN = VI_FALSE ‘

Specifies whether to

suppress the

END

bit termination. If this attribute is set to

VI_TRUE

, the

END

bit does not terminate read operations. If this attribute is set to

VI_FALSE

, the

END

bit terminates read operations.
