I've successfully used the NI GPIB-USB-B converter to allow my test station's computer to control external test instrumentation across a GPIB bus.
This test scenario must now be modified with the addition of another external GPIB instrument, that under test calibration conditions, will become the controller and my test station the slave.
I guess my GPIB-USB-B converter won't work under this scenario. Does NI make a GPIB-USB converter that will allow both controller and slave operation? I've looked on the internet and it appears that this device will perform that type of operation:

Thanks Dennis, the setting to disable the GPIB interface as a system controller is found in MAX. I've attached a screenshot of the setting.
