All,
Dan's recent question concerning his PC and sig gen locking up reminded
me of this problem.
We have an 8563E Spectrum Analyzer with the 85620A Memory Module and 32K
card. When this module is connected to the spec an, and I send a 'TS'
(take sweep) command, the analyzer *occasionally* generates an error
saying there were not enough arguments for command TS.
Since we rarely use the memory module, the work around has been to
remove the memory module.
We use Vee as well as Delphi. It seems to happen more with Delphi than
Vee but I do recall this problem happening with Vee.
Any ideas?
-Shawn
P.S. I tried adding delay before and after the TS command, but it
didn't work.

Check the 8563E manual to find what I/O terminators the analyzer likes to
see. Chances are that it likes to see a c/r AND l/f. This may explain why
it thinks something is missing. In VEE, the default is new line only (l/f).
I have success with vintage instruments by carefully selecting those
terminators.
In Instrument Manager, edit the instrument, and modify the terminators to be
