Using one GPIB-USB-HS controller on multiple computers

Using one GPIB-USB-HS controller on multiple computers

‎06-15-2018 02:30 PM

Hello, 

 

Is it possible to control instruments through a GPIB-USB-HS instrument control device on two separate computers at the same time using a usb splitter cable? 

 

Thanks!

I don't think it can work, because there only can be one aster at the bus at one time and switching masters is not easy.
