Multiple K8055 boards connected to a single PC

Hi Support.
The manual for the K8055 indicates that up to 4 can be connected to a USB bus. When writing VB for the K8055 is it possible to use the opendevice cmd to connect to more than one K8055 board at the beginning of a procedure?
Then after is it possible to address individual ports on different boards e.g. A1 on K8055 addr 0 and A1 on K8055 addr 1? (I believe that the K8061 can manage this)
If this is not possible how can you address individual ports on multiple boards?

many thanks

You need to open all the cards first using the OpenDevice(CardAddress).
Alternatively you can use the function SearchDevices()to open all the cards.
To switch the control between the cards you can use the function SetCurrentDevice(CardAddress).
