How to control Telnet timeout

[Mentos]

Hi,

In my application I'm using Telnet protocol.

I noticed that when I'm trying to read data using the Telnet read.vi the timeout is not the timeout I specify, rather it looks like it's exactly twice the number of ms I specify. The Read operation I perform respond differently so I must understand how to control the timeout.

In the attached example vi I open a telnet session, reads the response and then closes the session.

Although a 5000ms timeout is specified the actual timeout of the read operation is about 10000 ms (between the 2 breakpoints).

Is this some kind of bug or am I missing something ?

Can anyone help ?

Hi Mentos,

You are correct in saying it is a bug. This is a known issue in LabVIEW (~twice the timeout you set). R&D is aware of it, CAR 51523.

OK,

As long as I know I'm not doing anything wrong on my side I can take care of it.

Thank you.
