Go to Local *
Syntax: lot [ alist] <CR>
Purpose: You use lot to put a device in local program mode. In
this mode you can program the device from its front
panel. Since a device must usually be placed in remote
program mode before it can be programmed from the
GPIB, the GPIB-MAC automatically puts the device in
remote program mode. You then use lot to return
devices to local program mode.
Remarks: The argument
commas or spaces.
specify the GPIB addresses of the devices you wish to
return to local mode.
A device address consists of a primary address and an
optional secondary address. The secondary address is
separated from the primary address by a plus sign (+).
Only the lower five bits of each address are significant
These bits may be in the range from 0 through 30 for
both the primary and the secondary address. Therefore,
the binary value 01100010 (decimal 98) is interpreted as
decimal 2.
The following examples all specify a primary address of
0 and a secondary address of 2. The listen address is
32, the talk address is 64, and the secondary address is 2
or 98, which are equivalent.
If you call lot with
specified device(s) in local mode using the Go To
Local (GTL) command
