[argyllcms] Re: DTP41 and Linux

Hello Alastair,
        unfortunately I'm just about to leave on a plane,
and won't be able to look into this for a couple of days.
I did discover an issue on Linux/OSX a while back, in which
the type of serial read I was using had a buffer limit
that I wasn't aware of, and this caused problems when
reading back longish strip spectral data on the '41.
I can't recall if the fix for this is in the current
release, or the pending release.

A source code snapshot of the pending release is on
the website if anyone is interested in investigating
in the meantime.

Graeme.

I've just bought a DTP41 off EBay - looks like a sound investment - but I'm having trouble using it with Linux.

Printread gets as far as setting up the instrument, the strip goes through, and then this happens:

In other words it's successfully fetching XYZ data, but timing out when asked to fetch the spectral values.
