To get a list of the logical addresses used in your mainframe, send the SCPI
command VXI:CONF:DLAD? to the System Instrument. Then to determine
what instrument is at each logical address, send the command
VXI:CONF:DLIS? n for each logical address in the list (where n is a logical
address).

Instrument” Prompt
To return to the “Select an instrument” prompt, press and hold the CTRL key

Control Sequences for
Terminal Interface Functions
The terminal interface provides the keyboard control sequences listed in Table
3-3. These can be thought of as keyboard short-cuts for compatible terminals
(those which provide menu capability). Only those functions in the table which
are shaded, operate for “UNKNOWN” terminal types (those which do not
support menus). An “UNKNOWN” terminal type has very limited editing
capability. It will not support the EDIT mode for the optional IBASIC
interpreter. In the following table, † = IBASIC only, ‡ = Front Panel only.
