What reasons would you have against using a loop approach/multiple reads ignoring timeout errors? Is there any info/guidelines on not doing that? Just trying to fully understand the pitfalls 🙂

You turn it into a polling session.  Instead of saying "call me when you have something," you are constantly on the phone asking for the information.  Unneeded overhead.  The equipment will tell you when it has something.  If too much time has gone by, then you check to see what has happened.

This idea would get rid of my need for a polling loop:

Using LV2018 32 bit

Highly recommended open source screen capture software (useful for bug reports).

It's interesting, but I've found that temporarily changing the timeout value accomplished what I needed.  I think this snippet does the same thing as your code?
