Dennis,

I think the tab "-->" characters were added to the post to differentiate first and second read data.

Yeah, I think you are right. Then it appears that there are two data bytes and two null characters

From what I gather, it looks like you expect the result

FFFE -> 0000

and get something like

00FF -> FE

My first suspicion is that your delay may be a little short.  The leading 00 you see is probably the tail of the previous query.  If you flush the buffer, this would dissappear but there is probably an underlying cause (ie. short delay). It also appears the buffer on the robot is limited to 3 bytes, since there appears to be some 00 values dropped.

We are all guessing here, posting your complete code (both queries) would be helpful.

Flushing the buffer and reading in only 2 bytes was the winning combination.  Thank you for all your help!
