For some reason the commands sent to my instrument, an intellegent
power control unit, are not responding properly. The commands are
definitely recieved (I can tell by an led light that flashes everytime
info is received) so I know the connection is there. My question is
could it be the while loop that is messing it up or maybe it needs
some carriage return? The commands are usually sent through telnet and
are very picky about what it will accept IE if you put a space before
or after the command after entering it, it will not work, and if you
enter the command and hit backspace at all it won't work. Does anyone
have any suggestions?
