There are two methods you can use to run test scripts simultaneously:
• Create multiple TSP-Link networks
• Use a single TSP-Link network with groups
The following figure displays the first method, which consists of multiple TSP-Link networks. Each
TSP-Link network has a master node and a GPIB connection to the computer.
