Front Panel Keys
Lockout
NOTE
The ability to lock the front panel from the front panel is only available on
Agilent N6700 MPS mainframes with firmware revision B.00.00 and up.
You can lock the front panel keys to prevent unwanted control of the
instrument from the front panel. This is the most secure way of
locking the front panel keys because you need a password to unlock
the front panel. The lockout setting is saved in non-volatile memory
so that the front panel remains locked even after AC power is cycled.
If the password is lost, a SCPI command is available to reset the front
panel lockout password. Refer to Chapter 6 under
“SYSTem:PASSword:FPANel:RESet” for more information.
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select System\Preferences\Lock
In the dialog box, enter the password that
will be required to unlock the front panel.
Then select Lock.
The menu to unlock the front panel
appears every time a key is pressed. Enter
the password to unlock the front panel.
Not Available
NOTE
SCPI commands can also lock and unlock the front panel. The SCPI commands
are completely independent of the front panel lockout function. If you use SCPI
commands to lock the front panel, the front panel will be unlocked when AC
power is cycled. Refer to chapter 6 under “SYST:COMM:RLST RWLock”.
