Kiethley 2400 ID Query fail

The instrument I have is a Keithley 2400 Sourcemeter. I am communicating to this instrument using a usb to serial converter to a pc running labview. The instrument settings are the same as the settings on the computer, i.e. baud rate, bits, terminator etc. MAX validates these settings. My problem is that Labview is unable to sucessfully run an ID query to the instrument. I am able to write to the instrument, but when I try to read, I get a timeout error in VISA Read. When I run the ID query in MAX, the instrument name is actually in the buffer, but it still gives me an error. Any suggestions?

Sounds like it's simply a difference in the expected termination character and the actual one that you are getting. You can change the code or you can change the setting of the instrument.
