VISA framing error

[TaoTao]

Hi, I am trying to use serial port to get real time data of my GPS sensor. So I enclose VISA read in a for loop to record thereal time strings which send by GPS.(eg. for i=1:10)
But it can read the frist string only(i=1), when the second iteration is running(i=2), the error information come out,'VISA framing error', Is there any way to solve this problem.

Hi,

The error sounds like the data being received is not in the right format. Serial data is transferred one byte at a time, and each byte contains, in a specific format, a start bit, data bits, parity, and stop bits. A framing error occurs when a byte of data is received, but it is not in the format expected.

Reading the follwoing KB might help:
