Local Lockout Using HP Basic and GPIB
This example demonstrates the Local Lockout function. Local Lockout disables the front panel signal
generator keys. basicex2.txt performs the following functions:
• resets instrument
• places signal generator into local
• places signal generator into remote
The following program example is available on the signal generator Documentation CD- ROM as
basicex2.txt.

50 ! PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: In REMOTE mode, access to the signal generators
60 ! functional front panel keys are disabled except for
70 ! the Local and Contrast keys. The LOCAL LOCKOUT
80 ! command will disable the Local key.
90 ! The LOCAL command, executed from the controller, is then
100 ! the only way to return the signal generator to front panel,
