Getting Started
Using GPIB
Local Function
The Agilent BASIC function LOCAL and the other listed functions cause the signal generator to return to
local control with a fully enabled front panel.
Agilent BASIC The LOCAL 719 function returns the signal generator to manual operation, allowing
access to the signal generator’s front panel keys.
VISA Library The VISA library, at this time, does not have a similar command.
NI-488.2
Library The NI-488.2 library function places the interface in local mode and allows operation of
the signal generator’s front panel keys. The ud parameter in the parameter list is the
interface or device descriptor.
SICL The Agilent SICL function puts the signal generator into Local operation; enabling front
panel key operation. The id parameter identifies the session.
Clear Function
The Agilent BASIC function CLEAR and the other listed IO library functions cause the signal generator to
assume a cleared condition.
Agilent BASIC The CLEAR 719 function causes all pending output-parameter operations to be halted,
the parser (interpreter of programming codes) to reset and prepare for a new
programming code, stops any sweep in progress, and continuous sweep to be turned off.
VISA Library The VISA library uses the viClear function. This function performs an IEEE 488.1 clear
of the signal generator.
NI-488.2
Library The NI-488.2 library function sends the GPIB Selected Device Clear (SDC) message to
the device described by ud.
SICL The Agilent SICL function clears a device or interface. The function also discards data
in both the read and write formatted IO buffers. The id parameter identifies the session.
