Any conflicts?

[Currahee]

Suppose I have linked two instruments (Current Source and Voltmeter) to my PC. I have two Labview program that utilises the two instruments for different purposes. So will there be any conflicts if both programs are open at the same time, but only one of them is runnning at any single time? Will there be any warning if a conflict exists? Thank you!

I don't think you'll have any problems.

There should be no problems unless you DO run them both at the same time and they both try to talk on the GPIB at the same time. If you want a little insurance - use the VISA VIs to talk to the instruments and use the VISA Open.vi with duplicate session set to TRUE. Don't forget to close the session when you're done with it.
And, no, you won't get any warning.
