100 !
110 ! CLEAR and RESET the controller and type in the following commands and then
120 ! RUN the program:
130 !
140 !******************************************************************************
150 !
160 Sig_gen=719 ! Declares a variable to hold the signal generator's address
170 LOCAL Sig_gen ! Places the signal generator into Local mode
180 CLEAR Sig_gen ! Clears any pending data I/O and resets the parser
190 REMOTE 719 ! Puts the signal generator into remote mode
200 CLEAR SCREEN ! Clears the controllers display
210 REMOTE 719
220 OUTPUT Sig_gen;"*RST" ! Places the signal generator into a defined state
230 PRINT "The signal generator should now be in REMOTE."
240 PRINT
250 PRINT "Verify that the remote [R] annunciator is on. Press the `Local' key, "
260 PRINT "on the front panel to return the signal generator to local control."

Interface Check Using NI-488.2 and C++
This example uses the NI- 488.2 library to verify that the GPIB connections and interface are
functional. Launch Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, add the required files, and enter the following code into
your .cpp source file.
The following program example is available on the signal generator Documentation CD- ROM as
niex1.cpp.
