Why does it fail "correctly"?


Because it's all geared up for interactive responses from the user, and
a redirected file isn't interactive source, hence the ioctl fails.


Is there any way to get that to work?


Not without a fair bit of re-writing to allow for non-interactive
input. It won't work reliably in any case, because the instrument
& device behavior isn't perfectly reliable, and the user interface
allows for user interruption. To put it another way, something more
sophisticated than text out and pseudo-asynchronous character input is needed
for allowing control by another program (or use control via another
program).
