Well, sometimes there are "termination characters" that denote the end of a message sent from the intrument to the computer and vice versa, see <http://pyvisa.sourceforge.net/pyvisa/node17.html>. They are not EOI though but \r or \n. Besides, normally you work on an abstraction level where you don't worry about the EOI line or any termination characters. For example, you work with <http://pyvisa.sourceforge.net>. ;-) Tschö, Torsten. -- Torsten Bronger, aquisgrana, europa vetus ICQ 264-296-646 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
