Programming Examples
GPIB Programming Interface Examples
Remote Function
The HP Basic function REMOTE and the other listed IO library functions change the signal generator
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 restores manual operation.
Local Lockout Function
The HP Basic function LOCAL LOCKOUT and the other listed IO library functions disable the front
panel keys including the Local key. With the Local key disabled, only the controller (or a hard reset of
line power) can restore local control.
SICL The Agilent SICL function aborts any command currently
executing with the session id. This function is supported
with C/C++ on Windows 3.1 and Series 700 HP- UX.
iabort (id)
Library Function Statement Initialization Command
HP 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.
N/A
NI- 488.2 The 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.
EnableRemote (parameter
list)
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.
iremote (id)
Library Function Statement Initialization Command
HP Basic The LOCAL LOCKOUT function disables all front- panel signal
generator keys. Return to local control can occur only by
cycling power on the instrument, when the LOCAL command
is sent or if the Preset key is pressed.
