Two network card connection
If you need to connect independent corporate and instrumentation networks, two network interface
cards are required in the computer controller. Though the two networks are independent, stations on
the corporate network can access the instruments, and the instruments can access the corporate
network, using the same computer.
This configuration resembles a GPIB setup in which the computer is connected to a corporate
network, but also has a GPIB card in the computer to communicate with instruments.
