When my program sends a "<SPIR...>>" command, I get a burst of 224 (sometimes 288) bytes immediately.

Then, there is a 24-second delay, and I get about 2,560 more bytes.

Finally, a total of 4096 bytes after 42 seconds. That's the equivalent of about 878 Baud... on a 115,200 Baud line? What on earth is it doing?

878 Baud = 4096 * (8 data bits + 1 stop bit) / 42 seconds.

So what you're saying is that the only way to determine that the entire log has been transmitted, is to perform a loop asking for a preset amount of data at each iteration (ex: 4096), and sit there and wait for a minute or more, each time, until nothing more is received?

There's gotta be a better way :o)

There is probably something wrong with your software. The EMF-PRO software is using SPIR commands to get 4096 bytes of data each request and it doesn't take that long.

Looks like you're right: the GQ Pro software downloads 177,717 bytes in 2:22 min, which is 11,263 Baud (bits per second). Although that's still pretty slow.

My software is generic USB/Serial protocol. It just sends a <SPIR>> and sits there and waits.
