Can a single GPIB interface receive commands for multiple primary addresses?

Solved!
Go to solution

I want to upgrade a system with multiple GPIB peripherals to a system with multiple PXI peripherals and maintain the same set of test programs.  I can create a software abstraction layer to distribute the commands to my instruments. But is there any way to get a single PXI-GPIB interface card to listen for multiple primary addresses, perform the hardware ACKs, and get me the particulars of the command?

A GPIB bus can only have one master.  And I do not know of a way to have multiple addresses in a single slave.
