Currently, if you have installed NI-VISA, you should have the 1394 Passport already installed and running. This gives you the ability to communicate with 1394 instruments via your 1394 instruments. This is important because this helps determine how you will communicate from one computer to another. If you want to use the VISA and communicate using the FireWire INSTR, then you need to find or create drivers for your 1394 ports that allow you to communicate with them as 1394 instruments. There might be other ways to do this, but this is probably the most simple. Once you've got the pcs set up, you can just use VISA to communicate with your other devices.
