In this state the program initialises the VISA read block to accept 10 bytes from the port. A
light on the front panel will be displayed on the front panel to signify that there are bytes at
the port. This is useful in the debugging process as it can determine whether information is
being received. The bytes are then converted from an integer to a string. From here the
program confirms that 10 bytes have been received before it can move in to the next state.
The converted string is then displayed in the advanced tab on the front panel for error
checking purposes.
