It sounds like you are trying to control both fields from a single computer. I have no idea if that is possible or desirable. At the school I assist, they used a separate computer to control each of two fields.

I suspect that I'm writing this is too late for your event, but maybe the next person planning a multi-field event will benefit from being reminded that separate computers is one option.
