The REMOTE statement sets the remote state on an IEEE-488 device by asserting the IEEE-488 bus remote line (REN). The device will switch to a remote state only after it has been addressed to listen, causing the front panel to be disabled. You specify either an I/O Path or a device selector that refers to one or more IEEE-488 devices. For example:
REMOTE 702
If the computer is the active controller and primary addresses are specified, the computer listen addresses the devices to switch them to remote mode. The bus action is: REN, ATN, MTA, UNL, LAG. The remote line is asserted if the computer is the system controller and ISC select code is specified. If the computer is not the system controller or it is not the active controller, an error is generated.
