It is possible to write to parameters without using this sequence, but the unit will simply
hold new values in the menu structure, and will not apply the new values to the
process control variables. However, if new parameters are uploaded and then the
menu entered from the front panel, any uploaded parameters will be effective on
leaving the menu. When using communications t
he
enter program mode / exit
program mode
message sequence must be sent to cause any new values to be
applied to the controller.

, and the keyboard is
successfully locked, the response will be the same as the message. If the instrument
is currently in manual menu entry mode, an error response code 6 (device busy) will
be returned. This command may be repeated while already in
remote program mode
with no ill effect.
