Yes, specifying the terminators in the st.cmd script is the better approach.  

But in response to your comments below, instruments using raw stream TCP/IP (i.e. not VXI-11) usually require terminators too.
USBTMC and GPIB devices have out-of-band “end of message” mechanisms don’t need explicit terminator characters.

In general it’s a better idea to add the termination commands using asynOctetSetOutputEos than using the Terminator command in the StreamDevice protocol file.  That way if you change from using serial to using TCP/IP you only need to change your startup script, not your protocol file.
