Re: wait for replay

Thanks guys
Using queues might be the simplest solution. First in - First out kind
of queue.
I'm using a simple component called CPort (SourceForge project). It
does what I need. (I've also looked at the Async Pro components).
Luckily, my instrument sends back chr(13) at the end of each
responses, so I gather up each snippets in a global variable before
sending it to parsing. Then I empty the global var ready for next
response.

You triggered my mind to come with a new solution. Wich might be
simple but efficient is to create only one command queue keeping track
of how many commands have been issued. First I put as many commands
in the command queue as there would be loops. When the response
arrives, the parsing is completed. At the end of the parsing function
I then checks the queue and if there are commands left, I send it off
to the instrument. That way the instrument is the controlling factor,
since the serial component really is responsible for trigging another
command. If I get en error message from the instrument, the command
queue is emptied. The computer will then follow the instruments pace.
What do you think? See any pitfalls in this scenario?
