I'm develop a auto test system that include several Instruments(with GPIB Interface) and a DUT(also a instrument with GPIB Interface).
Their GPIB Addresses is unknown(They might comes from different users,and they config the instruments with their own GPIB address).
I can scan the bus and find the instruments(only the GPIB Address),and with these address,identify these instruments with the *IDN? command.
But my question is:if these are two or more instruments that have same GPIB Address,I can only find N-D+1 instrument on the GPIB bus(N is total count of instruments on GPIB bus,D is the count of instruments that have same GPIB address).Do I have to manually check the GPIB address to make sure they don't have same address? Or there is another solution?
