The convert routine is passed the parameters from the command table entry and if it wants it can get at a pointer to the entire command table entry so you can likely provide a single routine that will handle lots of table entries.  You might be able to get away with having to write only a single convert routine for all the commands you need to send.
Certainly a pain, though.

I wonder if StreamDevice would work.

I already wrote a standalone C++ program to communicate with this thing and it took a little while to write the functions to append and strip \x0\x7 on/off of every string I sent/received from it. It really amazed me that they chose to start every command with \x0 since thats what the entire rest of the world has agreed means end of string. I was hoping to avoid having to write my own version of AsynIPPort just to deal with the \x0\x7 bytes.
