The second method to run parallel test scripts is to use groups with a single TSP-Link network. A
group consists of one or more nodes with the same group number. Each group on the TSP-Link
network can run different test scripts at the same time (in parallel).
The following figure displays a single TSP-Link network with groups. This method requires one
TSP-Link network and a single GPIB connection to the computer.
