communicating with a GPIB connected instrument through network

HI Folks,

 

 

In our lab, we have different instruments connect to different computers. And it is extreme inconvenient to switch computers in order to use different instruments since not every instrument is connected to the same computer. And I would like to design a labview program that can communicate with any instrument via network so users can have control to all the instruments on the same computer in the lab so they don’t have to switch computers every time they want to use a different instrument. How do I do that?

You could use Remote NI-VISA. The machine to which the instruments are connected would be running the Remote NI-VISA Server. Check the NI-VISA documentation, as this is described in there.
