Remote
Remote causes an instrument to change from local control to
remote control. In remote control, the front panel keys are disabled
(except for the
(LOCAL]
key and the POWER switch), and the amber
REMOTE annunciator is lighted. The syntax is:
where the device selector is the address of the instrument appended
to the HP-IB port number. Typically, the HP-IB port number is
7, and the default address for the synthesizer is 19, so the device
selector is 719. Some BASIC examples:
10
REMOTE 7
which prepares all HP-IB instruments for remote operation (although
nothing appears to happen to the instruments until they are
addressed to talk), or
10
REMOTE 719
which affects the HP-IB instrument located at address 19, or
10
REMOTE719,
721, 726, 715
which effects four instruments that have addresses 19, 21, 26, and 15.

control. The syntax is:
