Normally, a GPIB instrument is put in remote mode by asserting the Remote Enable (REN) GPIB line. At that time, all front panel keys (except the Local key) are locked to prevent user interaction.
Sending the LLO message over the GPIB further locks out the keyboard, mouse, and Local key during execution of your GPIB program. The syntax of the LLO message depends on the GPIB driver you are using. Consult your GPIB driver software users manual.
The PNA requires these two actions to occur in order:
Controller sends the LLO (Local Lockout) message
Controller asserts the REN (Remote Enable) GPIB line
The PNA will then go into remote mode with full lockout capability.
This feature is also supported using SICL over LAN.
Use the LocalLockoutState COM command when using TCPIP/LAN.
