[Linux-gpib-general] Configure NI GPIB-USB-HS based on serial number

[<ron...@uf...>]

Greetings, 

I have multiple NI GPIB-USB-HS controllers that I need to use (Ubuntu
18.04 LTS, linux-gpib-4.3.0). I've attached my /etc/gpib.conf and
/etc/udev/rules.d/98-gpib-generic.rules files to show what I currently
have on my system. I was hoping to have a specific serial number
controller assigned to a specific /dev/gpib port. Instead, what I am
seeing is that the first controller that I plug in gets assigned to
/dev/gpib0 and the second gets assigned to /dev/gpib1. So, either I am
doing something wrong, or I totally misunderstand the idea of
configuring the devices based on their serial numbers. 

FYI, whenever I've made edits to the config files, I reboot the computer
to ensure that everything starts fresh. I am hoping that someone can
assist me with this issue. Is it possible to use the serial numbers to
assign a controller to a specified /dev/gpib port? 

Regards, 

Ron
