Thanks for the reply, I changed the line you mentioned to
s.send('*IDN?\n')
Rerunning the program then shows me as response the first time
Received:
The measurement instrument gives a beep indicating it receives something
which is however not recognized als normal input
Running the script a second time, the program hangs.. and I have to reboot the
adapter
kind regards,
jean
