Device Specific Params and ud specific params

An NI function such as "ibconfig" sets per ud parameters. If I have two uds to the same instrument, the params I set (such as timeout value, EOS char) in one does not affect the other.

Now, if I have multiple uds for an instrument, is there a way by which any change in the config of an ud affects all others too automatically?

Thanks,
Raj

You should avoid opening multiple device descriptors to the same device. Since each unit descriptor must be unique of one another, alterations to one cannot affect another.

The UDs are obtained from different IBFIND or IBDEV calls?
If so you need IBCONFIG for both UDs even if both UDs are
aimed at the same device.
