Go To Local in VISA

[Makoto]

Hi all,

I noticed the VISA library does not have Go To Local function for
GPIB. How do I this with the VISA library ?

Is the function "VISA GPIB Control REN" what you want ?
It looks like it will send a go to local to a device.
(found in the interface specific palette)

If this will not work then sending the local command to
the GPIB device using VISA will work.

Thanks for the reply. But disabling REN line makes every instrument
go to local. Real GTL message should work for addressed instruments
only.

Is there any way that can send command-mode msgs as like traditional
NI-488 function - ibcmd( ud, "\x21\x04...", n) ?
