Controlling Multiple Instruments
Controlling Multiple Instruments by Multiple Instances of M8070B System Software
A single PC can also control multiple instruments by multiple instance of
the M8070B software. For every connected instrument a separate instance
of the M8070B software has to be started. You have to pass command line
options to the M8070B system software to address/specify connected
instruments.
Instrument settings, pattern etc. are stored in a so called workspace. To
avoid conflicts between multiple running M8070B system software
instances working on a single workspace you must specify a new name for
every workspace. For every running M8070B software, a separate
workspace must be defined.
Following are some possible configurations:
