When counting file characters be aware of how a particular file generator
(editor) terminates a line. DOS-based systems use two characters. Be sure to
account for line termination character(s) in the overall file character count.
The ASCII file load mechanism assumes correctness in the data file and any
header commands. Error handling is rather basic and treating unexpected
characters as field separators could create bizarre results when parsing the
file. Error messages point to the line number where the parser thinks the
error occurred, but the line count may not be exact because of parsing
problems with the data.
When using a LAN interface to send ASCII data, an extra line feed <lf> is
required at the end of the file. This <lf> IS NOT included in the
<char_count> value. It is required to ensure the data buffer is flushed.
Serious problems will cause the default main program to be loaded in an
effort to avoid locking up the Agilent 16500B/C system.
