BW August 2013

Besides painting, photographing, and measuring fibers, I worked early in the month on a problem in LabVIEW: we could not use the "Basic Serial Write and Read" VI to turn on the new netBooter, though it worked for the old one. After some rabbit trails, I tried the suggestion of one discussion thread to use the Measurement and Automation Explorer to write strings to the device. While using the explorer I found the right string for controlling the netBooter. The difference between the strings for the old one and the strings for the new one is the termination character, \r instead of \n.
