Remote
Remote causes an instrument to change from local control to
remote control. In remote control, the front panel keys are disabled
(except for the
[E)
key and the POWER-switch); and the amber
REMOTE annunciator is lighted. The syntax is:
where the device selector is the address of the instrument appended
to the HP-IB port number. Typically, the HP-IB port number is 7,
and the default address for the swept signal generator is 19, so the
device selector is 719. Some BASIC examples:
10
REMOTE 7
which prepares all HP-IB instruments for remote operation (although
nothing appears to happen to the instruments until they are
addressed to talk), or
10
REMOTE 719
which affects the HP-IB instrument located at address 19, or
10
REMOTE 719, 721, 726, 715
which
effects four instruments
that
have
addresses
19,
21, 26,
and
15.

Local Lockout
Local Lockout can be used in conjunction with REMOTE to disable
the front panel
(LOCAL)
key. With the
(iZZiiJ
key disabled, only the
controller (or a hard reset by the POWER switch) can restore local
control. The syntax is:
