Local Lockout Using NI-488.2 and C++
This example uses the NI- 488.2 library to set the signal generator local lockout mode. Launch
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, add the required files, and enter the following code into your .cpp source
file. niex2.cpp performs the following functions:
• all front panel keys, except the contrast key
• places the signal generator into remote
• prompts the user to verify the signal generator is in remote
• places the signal generator into local
The following program example is available on the signal generator Documentation CD- ROM as
niex2.cpp
.
// ************************************************************************************
// PROGRAM NAME: niex2.cpp
//
// PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This program will place the signal generator into
// LOCAL LOCKOUT mode. All front panel keys, except the Contrast key, will be disabled.
// The local command, 'ibloc(sig)' executed via program code, is the only way to
// return the signal generator to front panel, Local, control.
