I'm using Instrument add-on custom device to read rs232 signals and it has worked well for me in the past however I've run into an issue. I added a new device from Omega (an HX200 humidity and temperature sensor) that has a message that is screwing me up. This is a direct message from the sensor as read from Terra Term, it looks the same in NI-max.
\r%RH=\s18.26,\sDPC=\s-8.23,\sATC=\s15.88\n
When I try to specify the response format in Veristand, it appears that the % is causing it to choke. I'm guessing the Visa behind the custom device is having an issue with the % sign because it's thinking it's a format specifier? I don't have a way to change the message from the HX200 that I'm aware of. Is there a simple way around this issue? I've emulated the device with another computer+rs232 adapter broadcasting with terraterm and it works up until the point I add the % sign, then I get read error 82
Thanks in advance!

Figured it out in case anyone is following. Stupid simple solution, changed "%" to "%%"
