Hello,
I'm using 33220A FG and a 34401A DMM connected in serial on same GPIB cable with a 82357B GPIB_USB interface controller to hook up to my PC.
When I run the waveform editor software and search for the instrument, the RMT light on 33220A and 34401A vanished immediately. After that, if I use intuilink for DMM to control the 34401A, It appears that the Intuilink can still get connected to 34401A (regardless of the RMT indicator off), but when I click on the the get reading button, the front-panel and the IntuiLink software reported error code +550, "Command not allowed in local" and -420, "Query UNTERMINATED". The system is upset because the 34401A not in "remote mode".
Seems during the initialization process, the waveform editor forced all instruments into local mode. But if I just connect 33220A and disconnect 34401A, this RMT light on 33220A will not vanish.
Is there anyone can tell me why this happens?
Thanks and best regards

What version of the Agilent IO Libraries Suite is installed?
What version of DMM IntuiLink and Waveform Editors?
What order are the instruments connected in (e.g. 33220 connected to 34401, 33220 connected to PC using 82357)? Does the behavior of the instruments change if the order of the instruments is changed?
