I am trying to use the EXECUTE LOCAL command on our Rohde&Schwarz ESU, but VEE is giving me an error while it stays in REMOTE. I attached a picture of the error message. I have also looked in the ESU manual and there does not seem to be a specific SCPI command to set the analyzer back to local.
Anyone ever run into this problem? Appreciate any help, thanks!

I assume that you did use the "execute" command instead of a "write" command. You should just send a string to the R+S with "write", then the command for local control - have a look in the manual, and then you can use a *OPC? for operation complete question , and read it as "x" for examples, so you know that it works. The R+S things do also offer an error description, so that you can check that your Direct IO syntax is correct.
For example write "error?"; read y ....But correct syntax depends on machine you are using....there should be an overview at R+S commands.
I can give you the commands for ZVL, but i am not sure that they fit for your device ;-(
But try to use something like write "SYSTEM:DISPLAY:UPDATE ON", then some of this SYSTEM:ERROR? to read last error, and if there is nothing, you can do the EXECUTE LOCAL to release the remote via lan or gpib...
And sometimes it hangs somewhere in Nirwana, and you have to just switch off and on your device so that it works again- who knows?
