Switching to Remote Operation
When the Instrument is in local operation the instrument is fully programmable both from
the front panel and from the IEEE 488 bus. There is no physical switch for selecting
remote operation. Rather, when the Instrument receives a bus message it switches to
remote operation. If the message arrives while a change is being entered from the front
panel, the front panel entry is interrupted and then the bus message is executed. Once the
Instrument is set to remote operation all of the front panel (local) controls are locked out
(inoperable) with the exception of the

key and the
Go to Local
soft key at the
bottom of the display. Pressing the
GO to Local
soft key causes the Instrument to return
to local operation.
