An instrument connected to PC uses USB port.
I want to share the hardware all over the LAN, an original idea is to equip a server PC with a always running ServerSoftware which is connected to instr. The Server include functions such as instrument mananement, TCP session management, priority handle and so on.
Enable Server will active instrument.
Client application only need to sends to and receives from Server messages, and displays data.
Regardless the plan seems to be perfect, in fact I am not good at VISA.
The vendor supplies some LabVIEW drivers which seems "TCPIP::<hostname>::<port>::SOCKET" such a string to communicate. I think such a string can be used to connect from Client 2 Server and it is only one approach to communicate using vendor's driver,in other words the driver use VISA socket API. Am I right?
Another quension is I have no idea about how can I connect PC to instrument,which API can I use?
Anyone help to tell me how to deal with these technical detail?
Thanks very much.
