termination character

Hello,

 

I'm communicating with an 20 years old optical spectrum analyzer with GPIB connection using VISA.

 

I having trouble reading the entire data. I've try to use the termination character options to solve this but my instrument use both line feed and EOI termination codes.

 

I've found this help text: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4256/en/

 

but could understand it to the end.

 

what is the symbol accepting the arrow symbol at and zero constant at the end? where should I put this property node in case I want to read many bytes ending with the above characters? before VISA - WRITE? after VISA read? and how can I combine two termination character? how do I represent two EOI?

 

thanks, Avishay

Specify too many bytes to read and the visa read wil stop on the first end character or eoi that appears.
For two eoi's read twice.
