I'm looking at a previously developed application which uses VISA Read to read 'Bytes at Port' bytes. As I need to make some changes I'd first like to understand how it manages to sucessfully read messages over 128 bytes despite the fact that our PCI-8433/2 card has a FIFO buffer of only 128 bytes.
I'm sure nothing clever is going on. The buffer is flushed before and after a single read (all within a loop), and the received data is sent to the Front Panel.
I'm assuming VISA is buffering the data itself to a virtual port that it creates itself, but this isn't mentioned in the documentation.
Any answers ?
