RE: asyn R4.10, R4.11, R4.12

["Szalata, Zenon M." <zms@slac.stanford.edu>]

I am not aware of explicitly specifying the EOS string.  I thought that
EOS string was not used and only the EOI was.  That is, the KS3988 GPIB
CAMAC crate controller does not require nor accepts an EOS string.  I
maybe wrong on this.  Perhaps, somehow unwittingly I am sending some EOS
string?  How can I verify that?

Actually, in my original message I told a lie, I am not using
streamdevice, just asyn.

Why does it work with asyn R4.9 and not with the newer versions?  Is it
possible that starting with R4.10 default behavior changed?  Could it
be, that starting with R4.10 I have to explicitly say no EOS?

The E5810A allows only a single EOS character.  Are you trying to use a
longer end-of-string?
