Remote access GPIB instruments via GPIBConf device names

Hi,

I'm trying to run Labwindows 2009 SP1 code on an office based PC while trying to operate GPIB instrumentation

on another part of the network.

Normally this is not problem thanks to VISA Server on the target PC and the use of VISA Alias names within the

office PC code.

But this code has been inherited and uses a different method which was the best at the time.

The code uses device name strings which have been defined using the GPIB utility: GpibConfig.exe,

on the target machine. So when a device is first initialised, the name defined in the GPIB utility is used

by the code and access to the associated instrument is achieved.This works fine when the code and

the instruments reside on the same PC.

My question: is there some way I can use VISA Server to access remote GPIB instruments using

the names defined on the target PC with the GpibConfig.exe utility ?

Thanks,

Gary.
