Bytes at Port are random

One place to look is the  Agilent 34401 driver on your Instrument I/O>Instrument Driver palette. Look at the Initialize function. It sets the termination character for read and write.

Any chance of telling me how to correctly set up a "term char" element on the property node?  Maybe I was not doing it correctly.

You really shouldn't be using a property node to set that up.  Use the VISA Configure Serial Port VI instead.  It has all of the settings needed for 99.999% of serial interfaces.  By default, the termination character enabled and is set to 0xA (new line).

But the VISA Configure Serial Port does use a property node and you would need to modify the function to set VISA to automatically append a termination character for a write.
