If I remember correctly the commands in HP Basic for Local or Remote
mode are LOCAL and REMOTE.
Also there are some slight variations between the 856x analyzers and the
859x analyzers. Your best bet is to look for the programming commands
from Agilents web site. They can be difficult to find, but I have
always found them for free. I will look around here, I may still have
them in pdf format.

Mike,
Have you checked to make sure the address is the same? Address 18 is
hardcoded in your program. I know the 8566 is always at 18. I think 18
may be the default for the 859x series, but you may need to double check.
I use the MKA?; command with the 8594, it should be common with the
entire 859x series. You may have to turn the marker on before you can
read it, the command is MKACT; and I always use the MKPK; command before
reading the peak.
You may need to put the instrument in the remote mode first. In my
software (VB using National Instruments driver) it is the SetRWLS
function. Don't know what it would be with HP Basic.

Here is a question for the older generationas a deviation from all
these questions about standards.
HP362 computer running HP BASIC
I needed to knock together a routine to drive an oscillator and
spectrum analyser and thought this would be a simple way to do things.
Anyhow, I find that whilst I can write to and read from an HP8568 or
an HP8566, I can only write to an HP8564E or an HP8591EM. The
program hangs at the READ statement. As far as I can tell the
command set is the same for all four analysers.
The question is, is it a hardware incompatibility or is it a
protocol problem?
Example is:
OUTPUT 718;MKA?;
ENTER 718;Val
Program hangs here with 8564E and 8591EM, but is Ok with 8568 and 8566
Any ideas appreciated.
Mike
