Hello Neil, Thank you for the extended response! All of your suggestions are reasonable, at the least. The only misgiving I had with breaking up into multiple classes is that the scope itself maintains state variables (it runs a Motorola processor etc) - so you can pick an object from the library, then other scope driving commands can use that "current" selection. I would then be required to have a similar state saving that works with all classes. I'll think about that some more...
The serial port error checking is an important part that needs extending. Thanks again, Ray -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
