Chapter 110
Remote Function
The Agilent BASIC function REMOTE and the other listed I/O library functions cause the signal
generator to change from local operation to remote operation. In remote operation, the front
panel keys are disabled except for the
Local key and the line power switch. Pressing the Local
key on the signal generator front panel restores manual operation.
Agilent BASIC The REMOTE 719 function disables the front panel operation of all keys with
the exception of the
Local key.
VISA Library The VISA library, at this time, does not have a similar command.
NI-488.2
Library This NI-488.2 library function asserts the Remote Enable (REN) GPIB line.
All devices listed in the parameter list are put into a listen-active state
although no indication is generated by the signal generator. The parameter
list describes the interface or device descriptor.
SICL The Agilent SICL function puts an instrument, identified by the id
parameter, into remote mode and disables the front panel keys. Pressing the
Local key on the signal generator front panel restores manual operation.
The parameter id is the session identifier.
Local Lockout Function
The Agilent BASIC function LOCAL LOCKOUT and the other listed I/O library functions can be
used to disable the front panel keys including the
Local key. With the Local key disabled, only
the controller (or a hard reset of the line power switch) can restore local control.
Agilent BASIC The LOCAL LOCKOUT function disables all front-panel signal generator keys.
Return to local control can occur only with a hard on/off, when the LOCAL
command is sent or if the
Preset key is pressed.
