Dear all:

I meet the question on this project :Controlling Multiple GPIB Instruments on the Same Bus at the Same Time in Visual Basic

I have five instruments on the GPIB bus,but  how should I control instrument at the same time that  synchronous movement ,thanks

In Visual Basic, similar to other programming languages, you can open sessions to a number of GPIB devices with a single GPIB interface, however it's important to know that if you do so, you are still working on a single bus.  So while it is possible to open multiple sessions, and to even multithread your application, in the end you are still working with just a single bus, and only one thing at a time can happen on that bus.

Are you looking for specifics of how to do this?  Have you looked in the NI-488.2 Help?  Have you looked at different examples that install with NI-488.2?
