GPIB Programming Interface Examples
// PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:This example program verifies that the GPIB connections and
// and interface are functional.
// Turn signal generator power off then on and then run the program
//

// prints to the output window
printf("The signal generator should now be in REMOTE. The remote indicator\n");
printf("annunciator R should appear on the signal generator display\n");

Local Lockout Using HP Basic and GPIB
This example demonstrates the Local Lockout function. Local Lockout disables the front panel signal
generator keys. basicex2.txt performs the following functions:
• resets instrument
• places signal generator into local
• places signal generator into remote
