Library
SICL
The VISA library, at this time, does not have a similar command.
The NI-488.2 library function places the instrument described in the
parameter list in remote mode by asserting the Remote Enable (REN) GPIB
line. The lockout state is then set using the Local Lockout (LLO) GPIB
message. Local control can be restored only with the EnableLocal NI-488.2
routine or hard reset. The parameter list describes the interface or device
descriptor.
The Agilent SICL igpibllo function prevents user access to front panel keys
operation. The function puts an instrument, identified by the id parameter,
into remote mode with local lockout. The parameter id is the session
identifier and instrument address list.
Local Function
The Agilent BASIC function LOCAL and the other listed functions cause the signal generator
to return to local control with a fully enabled front panel.

The LOCAL 719 function returns the signal generator to manual operation,
allowing access to the signal generator’s front panel keys.

Chapter 1
The NI-488.2 library function places the interface in local mode and allows
operation of the signal generator’s front panel keys. The ud parameter in the
parameter list is the interface or device descriptor.
The Agilent SICL function puts the signal generator into Local operation;
enabling front panel key operation. The id parameter identifies the session.
