Hello,
I searched the forum and found only a thread on returning to local mode programmatically for the 34410A DMM. (which was DIAG:LOCAL). However, I tried that with the 34401A DMM and it doesn't work. I looked through the user's guide, and it only mentions returning to local mode when in serial mode only. (i.e. SYST:LOCAL). Essentially, I am using a gpib interface to the 34401A DMM that I want to take a measurement via scpi commands and then return the DMM unit back to local mode wihtout having to press the 'Local' key on the DMM. If someone can provide the appropriate scpi command to do this for the 34401A DMM, that would be greatly appreciated.

The 34401A does not have a built in SCPI command to control remote and local. You will have to use a lower level GPIB command related to te REN line in order to do this. What programming environment are you using? VB, C, Matlab, Labview, etc...? If you let me know which one, I can try and assist you with the correct command.
