Can I use a USB hub to connect to multiple USB ports from one GPIB-USB-HS?

[Parv]

I have one instrument which has a GPIB-USB-HS connected and the USB cable is connected to a USB hub. Can I have multiple PCs to connect using USB hub at their respective USB ports? If so, how many PCs can I connect using the USB cable?

I have downloaded the latest NI-VISA from the website.

You would first need a hub that allows you to switch between multiple pc's and then only one pc at a time would be connected and in control.

When you buy this special type of hub, one of the specs is how many pc connections it has.

Hi,

Yes, you can, you can set GPIB0, GPIB1,GPIB2

But why you use so much GPIB?

you can use one GPIB and some GPIB cables only.

You posted to an old and solved thread. It also seems off-point since the op wanted multiple pc's to control a single instrument.
