pyVISA GPIB GET (group execute trigger)

Question

I would like to trigger a few measurement devices at the same time over GPIB. There is a GPIB function "GET" which works with LabVIEW, that I would like to use with pyVISA.

Can I send this global GET command with pyVISA?

PyVisa class GPIBInterface has support for group_execute_trigger.

 intf.group_execute_trigger(instrument1, instrument2, ...):

Example:

import visa
rm = visa.ResourceManager()
intf = rm.open_resource('GPIB0::INTFC')
inst1 = rm.open_resource('GPIB0::11::INSTR')
inst2 = rm.open_resource('GPIB0::12::INSTR')
intf.group_execute_trigger(inst1, inst2)

I'm quite new to python and pyvisa. Could you tell me how to use this GPIBInterface class? – Philipp Mar 02 '17 at 17:08
@Philipp, I added an example, but if this library is new to you, you should go through the tutorial at the link I posted. – Stephen Rauch Mar 02 '17 at 17:30
