6038A programming question

[lciotti]

I am working on programming an HP 6038A using VB 6.

I can only get it to accept commands if I issue "Call SendLLO(0)".  This will put the equipment into remote mode.  I tried Call EnableRemote, but that does not work.

I am OK with using SendLLO, but if I do that I have to power down the PS to allow the front panel controls to work.  Is there a better way, or a command to re-enable the front panel controls?

Hello,

Are you using the instrument driver for the device to control it? Also I am not sure what commands you would need to send to the device to get it into remote mode. You would need to consult the user manual of your device to see what is needed. Have a great day!

Best Regards,

Hi,

use these functions

ibloc(nDev);  /*goto local
ibonl(nDev,0); /*device offline - value = 0
