Exclusive Access
Checks whether the instrument is locked by another user and if not locks the instru-
ment. When an instrument is locked, it is reserved and can be operated manually or
remote
exclusively from the remote PC on which the R&S SGMA-GUI is running or
from which the SCPI command is sent.
For interfaces using VISA, i.e. for LAN and USB, enabling the "Exclusive Access" trig-
gers the standard
viLock
request. For remote control over PCIe or Socket, the lock
request is performed on a higher application level.
Note: It is recommended to lock the instrument prior to further configuration.
Locked instruments will not be found by the scan function.
The instrument has to be unlocked to allow operation from another remote PC.
Note: The two functions "Exclusive Access" and monitoring are mutually exclusive.
Disable "Exclusive Access" if the instrument is monitored by an external PC.
