You are correct. UsbTmc exposes no multi device capability. Also when I made first versions many years ago I had no "garden hose" GPIB cables and saw they were more expensive as the whole adapter. V3 which will come early next year supports GPIB daisy chaining/multi device support via Ethernet VXI11 & HiSlip. The V2 adapter shown here supports trigger, SRQ, serial poll, trigger, clear, local lockout, goto lockal, pulse indicator, all features though. If you absolutely need common synchronous trigger to a chain of GPIB instruments which is quite seldomly absolutely required, you'll have it in next version V3.
