There is no restriction in using GPIB/ethernet to an instrument simultaneously unless the instrument doesn't handle it. You need to check with Yokogawa.

The Communcations Interface User's Manual states that both interfaces cannot be used simultaneously. (page 3-2).  It does not give any information about how fast it can switch from one mode to the other.  It is likely that you would need to switch from remote to local in GPIB and then from local back to remote in Ethernet.  This is probably not very fast.

WT500 can connect at the same time, GPIB and Ethernet. You can run each command.

Switch is not required. At the same time performs only one command. Run the command order submitted. When you send a command from each line at the same time may be conflict.
