That might not work if that character is ever a part of a normal response.

However, another approach is not to define the terminators in the protocol file at all.  Rather, define \r\n as the terminator for asyn in your startup script.

StreamDevice will then get all characters up to \r\n.  The 53210A> should be discarded by the "flush" operation at the start of the next transaction, which is normally flush/write/read.

How about just setting the input terminator to “>” ?

We have a 53210A frequency counter that adds "\r\n53210A> " at the end of its responses. So we specified that as the InTerminator. That worked fine until we got a 53220A. We'd like to use both of them with as little redundant code as possible. The only difference in the protocol is that 1 vs. 2 in the response. Is there a way to accommodate that small difference?
