Can the USB-8451 run both I2C & SPI Interfaces at the same time?

I have an 8451 on the way and initially will be developing a driver for our product using the SPI I/F.  I am also developing a test setup that will use the I2C I/F and need to know if 1 8451 will handle both at the same time or will I have to re-configure each I/F when I need to use it if I have only 1 8451 in the system? 
The SPI driver will communicate with our product & the I2C I/F will communicate with the test fixture...
TIA

Well, you may be only able to open 1 VISA session to the 8451, but that doesn't mean you cant use both SPI and I2C at the same time.  I guess it depends on what your definition of "same time" is.
I have a project that uses 4 SPI channels and the I2C using a single OEM 8451 simultaneously without having to create a new session for each use.  Just create and store (I do it as class data) the visa session handle and create and store all your channel references.  Each channel you create does not need its own VISA session.   I access the 8451 from several different VIs asynchronously without any problem.  The VISA protocol will sort out coincident requests.
Buying a seperate 8451 should definitely not be required
