Interface Configuration Commands
See also “Remote Interface Configuration” on page 128 in chapter 3.
Remote/Local Instrument State Commands:  The following 
commands set the remote/local state of the function generator over the 
LAN interface from a Telnet or socket session. These commands provide 
control analogous to the IEEE-488.2 commands such as GTL (Go To 
Local) over the GPIB and USB interfaces.
SYSTem:LOCal
Sets the instrument state to local (the normal power-on default state). 
Removes any annunciator and unlocks the front panel keyboard.
SYSTem:REMote
Sets the instrument state to remote. Displays the remote annunciator 
and locks the keyboard (except the key).
SYSTem:RWLock
Sets the instrument state to remote with lock. Displays the rwl 
annunciator and locks the keyboard (including the key).
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RLSTate {LOCal|REMote|RWLock}
This command performs the same functions as the previous three 
separate commands.
• LOCal - (The default). Sets the instrument state to local. Removes 
any annunciator and unlocks the front panel keyboard.
• REMote - Sets the instrument state to remote. Displays the remote 
annunciator and locks the keyboard (except the key).
• RWLock - Sets the instrument state to remote with lock. Displays the 
rwl annunciator and locks the keyboard (including the key).
GPIB Interface Commands:  
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess <
address
> 
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess?
Sets the GPIB (IEEE-488) address for the 33210A. The GPIB address 
can take any value between 0 and 30. The factory default is 10.
