[time-nuts] Prologix GPIB/USB converter help...

[John Miles]

I was going to say, yes, you do need \r\n at the end of each outgoing
string.  I'd forgotten about that but was reminded of it just last night,
working on a configuration app for the new DIP-switchless boards.

It should be pretty reliable with \r\n termination.
