Generally PyVISA does not support parsing remote VISA resource names, but there could be workaround. However I have no idea how remote VISA works (and I have not found documentation by IVI referring to remote VISA implementation, the VISA specification does not discuss it much https://www.ivifoundation.org/downloads/Architecture%20Specifications/vpp43_2020-11-20.pdf). So I do not know if we could add support for it in pyvisa-py.
