Tried it with:
echo "*IDN?" > /dev/usbtmc0
cat /dev/usbtmc0

On the visible side, all the same (timeout error, occasional no
answer). Using usbmon, there's a little difference, the trace now
loooks like this

f660f480 4084277869 S Bo:3:003:6 -115 20 = 0126d900 06000000 01000000

Here the difference compared to the one in the thread start is that
previously the conversation ended with something like:
f672ae00 2503575589 S Ci:3:113:0 s a2 03 002b 0085 0002 2 <
f672ae00 2503583450 C Ci:3:113:0 -2 0
which is now not present. Not sure if this signifies anything.

I've been trying to get the agilent usbtmc driver to work so there 's
someting to compare with, but it fails at the moment...

Cheers,
   Greg
