As I mentioned earlier, with the low level GPIB function, you can generate a GET to multiple instruments. With the VISA GPIB Command function, you might be able to send the command GET and they'll both switch to the programmed output voltage. I don't have access to a 363x supply or manual right now and I am unsure if you can actually program it for that type of trigger. I'm suggesting that you study the manual and experiment with the trigger options before going out and investing in more hardware. There is the VISA Interactive Control and the lower level GPIB Interactive Control. Both provide a convient means of testing commands. What you need is not really provided in the driver so if anything works, you'll need to write some custom code.

thanks for your suggestion,i will try it if i have enough time,because it is my last task,my professor hope me to  as quickly as possible get results, so i do not know if i have so many time to write some custom code.

I already mentioned the tools you can use. Go into MAX and select Help for either NI-488.2 or NI-VISA.
