Re: StreamDevice protocol file to skip over the header string when get waveform

["Zimoch Dirk \(PSI\) via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Simply read "#800001000" before your format. For example, it your format is %r, do:  in ""#800001000%r".

The waveform will repeat the format for each element, but read the header only once.

If you have changing numbers of elements, you could use "#8%*8d" to skip 8 decimals after the #8. You cannot skip a
variable number of digits though. (but that is normally not needed).
