Multiple PC's To Access One Agilent E4263B LCR Meter - How to handle concurrent access request

[ChunK]

Hi All,

In my system, I connect multiple PC's to Agilent E5810A (GPIB/LAN Gateway) through LAN Cable (through a multiple switch), and then from the GPIB Gateway, an Agilent E4263B LCR Meter is connected to it through GPIB.

I understand that the LCR Meter can only grant access to 1 PC at any given time.

Is there any IVI / VISA API's that I can use to handle conccurent request from more than 1 PC?

For example, any "LOCK" function that is available?

Thanks.

Hello ChunK,

       I don't think that there is any built-in functionality that does what you are looking for.  You will probably need to implement your own solution.

You could use only one PC to acquire, and share data with others.
