Note that it does not work if a terminal window is open and connected to the ITF_HPIL (/dev/ttyACM2) serial port. In that case there is a "TRANSMIT ERR". On page 41 of the TULIP4041 documentation under "HP41 interface test" an instruction should be added to exit the ITF_HPIL terminal window if it is open at the beginning of this step. I'm wondering if this has contributed to the problem all along.

Good to hear it now works.
I will add a check. Currently if nothing is connected to the HP-IL interface the loop is simply closed and there is no transmit error. If something is connected I assume it is always the virtual IL device. There is no check if a virtual device is connected. I will add that and improve the documentation. Good point.
