VB.NET multiple instrument GPIB control commands??

Hi thus far I have been learning to comunicate through GPIB using a single instrument.  Now I want to try and control multiple instruments at the same time.   I am programming using VB.NET 2008, can someone give me a tiny example of the commands to use for multiple instruments or where I can find some examples???  The NI488.2 help file syntax for both single and multiple device communication is from vb6.  Thanks

You can find the examples that install with NI-488.2 from your Start Menu.

 

Start>>Program Files>>National Instruments>>NI-488.2>>Examples

 

I don't believe there are any that explicitly call seperate instruments, but once you are communicating with one instrument, it is just a matter of changing the Primary ID to communicate with another.

 

If you are having specific issues or errors feel free to post them up for us to look at.

 

Good luck!
