Additional Information

FlexOTO's programming syntax conforms to the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation and to the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI). For more detailed information regarding the GPIB, the IEEE 488.2 standard, or the SCPI standard, refer to the following books:

• International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE Standard 488.1-1987, IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation. New York, NY, 1987.
• International Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE Standard 488.2-1987, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common commands For Use with ANSI/IEEE Std 488.1-1987. New York, NY, 1987.

When FlexOTO is being remotely controlled, the application displays "Under Remote Control" as shown in the following picture. To return the application from being remotely controlled to front-panel control, either click the displayed Local, shown in this picture, or send the :SYSTem:GTLocal command. After this is done, sending any SCPI command returns FlexOTO to remote mode.
