Redirect GPIB port

[Techman]

Hi.

I have a question about redirecting GPIB port.

I have two applications for controling one instrument. The problem is that program one wants the instrument to be on gpib port 14 and the other program wants the instrument to be on gpib port 2.

So instead of switching the instrument gpib port all the time, i wonder if there in any better solution like
redirecting port 2 to 14...

Best Regards.

Hello!

I am afraid that I don't fully understand what you are asking for. You have two programs that are controlling the very same instrument through the same GPIB controller, is that correct? What address does MAX says the instrument has? Which programming environment are you in? How do you set up the addresses for the instrument?

Just questions as you see but I would like to get a better understanding of your problem!
