Hi John; Not atm. Straight out of the sample in section 6.4, with the label count trimmed to 2 quoted strings, it only generates a single pyvcp.label0, which without a net connection is stuck true and displays both quoted labels merged into one string. I an assuming the strings "string1"

Greetings all; My question re that pyvcp module went by without acknowledging it, so I'll ask it in the form of: where can I find the src's for whats there, and I might go see if I can pin the tail on the donkey even if I am blind. :) It does sound like a useful module, if it can be made to

When I worked in the semi con industry we used to have converters for regular rs232 serial com at 9200 bod. Was a 9 pin sub d at one end of the adaptor then 2 glass fiber cables plugged in to the other. The receptacle and the fiber cable were made by omron. I think the device itself was made in
