Another method you can use to run simultaneous test scripts is to use groups with a single TSP-Link
network. Each group on the TSP-Link network can run a test while other groups are running different
tests.
A group consists of one or more nodes with the same group number. 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.
