
Condition “Local“ is active (check the display or control panel on the front of your
unit), which will prevent any remote control

The unit is already remotely controlled by another interface

The unit in setup mode, means the user has accessed the setup menu and not left it
yet
Switch a unit to remote control:
If you are using SCPI command language, send a text command (the space is required):
SYST:LOCK˽1 or SYST:LOCK˽ON
Leaving remote control can be done in two ways: using the dedicated command or by
switching the unit to “Local” condition. We will consider the first option, because this is
about programming.
E
xit remote control:
If you are using SCPI command language, send a text command (the space is required):
SYST:LOCK˽0 or SYST:LOCK˽OFF
7.12.2 SCPI Command Syntax
The following syntax formats are supported for commands and/or queries:
