Sounds like a handshaking issue. It may not be related, but you might take a look at the 5345a.cpp example. The 5345A is kind of nonstandard in that it terminates responses with CR (ASCII 13) rather than CR/LF and/or EOI. I have to set the EOS character to 13 in 5345a.cpp to receive any data from it.
