I think that depends on your definition of simultaneously.  If you mean everything at the exact same time, no.  If you mean in parallel within a given time period, sure.

Look in the example finder (Help->Find Examples...) for Simple Serial Write and Read.  That will be a good starting point.  You can pretty much duplicate the code in order to talk to the other instruments.
