Hi,

We recently obtained an extra Waters 2695 with PDA 996. We already hav ue a 2695 with 2996. We have 1 PC, 1IGPIB. If I connect both systems on the PC they can both be used one at a time. Has anyone an idea how to use them simultaneous without having another PC (and GPIB we don't have...). I did not succeed opening Masslynx 4.1 two times on the same PC. I was thinking about installing a virtual PC to run the second Alliance but I don't know if this is going to work to get communication with the GPIB. If anyone is thinking about an easier setup (with 1 PC ...), please respond ;-)

Cheers,
P

to run 2x 2695/996 on the same pc you would need an Empower/millenium software setup. failing that an extra gpib card/pc with masslynx loaded is petty cheap compared to to price of a bus/lace card and empower license
