' trigger that many pulses in Burst mode.

' of "t" chars in it. I.e., if

' The 630 will now trigger a burst for each "t" char we sent it. After the 630
' executes each "t" command, it will return a prompt character (">"). We wish to wait
' until after all prompts have come in, since that's when the 630 has finished
' processing the last "t". The GetResponse1 subroutine has a time-out feature which will
' accomplish this purpose.
GOSUB GetResponse1 ' Wait for and get response from 630 to a$
