Re: Problem with streamDevice and I/O Intr

[Dirk Zimoch <dirk.zimoch@psi.ch>]

Hi Florian,

Looks like a race condition. I have to look in the driver. I fear there 
is nothing you can do about it.

How does the communication work? You say you get 64 messages in series. 
What do they look like? All like "t68043F34AAA1\r" (only difference in 
$(no))? That is the timing of these messages? Do they all come in one 
burst? Do you have a link to the device documentation?
