I have FOUR GPIB Devices running on a NI PCI card on a single PC. The only problem with the GPIB Bus is it must be a sequential read. This forces me to read data one at a time and this isn't fast.
I found the NI GPIB-USB-HS.

This runs from a USB cable. Can I read four USB cables at the same time and cut my GPIB read by 75%?
Can anyone confirm? If you have multiple GPIB-USB-HS on a single PC, can you read all four GPIB Devices at the same time in Parallel? Or does the GPIB-USB-HS act just like NI PCI GPIB cards with Sequential reads?
I need to read four GPIB devices at the same time I'm hoping the GPIB-USB-HS will do this...any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug
