Hello,
I'm using the PSA spectrum analyzer family described above and I'm trying to figure out the scpi command to return the instrument back to local mode from remote mode. I looked in the E4440-90607.pdf document, but could not find a command for it. On page 334, it talks about such a command from this paragraph:
A local function that is the complement to the remote command, causing an
instrument to return to local control with a fully enabled front panel (sometimes
called: local, resume).
But I could not find such a command. Can someone post the scpi command for that?
Thanks,
rok

The paragraph that you mentioned is specifically targeted for GPIB communication with the E444xA series analyzers. Are you also using GPIB to control the analyzer?
The goal of that paragraph is to explain that the GPIB interface on your PC should provide you with a command/function to put the machine back into local. If you are using the National Instruments 488.2 software layer, this function is indeed present. You can use the 'ibloc' function to put the machine back into local mode. This 'ibloc' function is not a SCPI command, but a function in the software API to control the GPIB card of your PC.
If you are using the 'Multi-device NI-488.2 Calls', the 'EnableLocal' function wil do the same as the 'ibloc' function.
I hope that this helps you to solve your problems.
With best regards,
John
