Remote control
When the instrument is controlled remotely, the front-panel controls are disabled. You can still view
information on the front-panel display and move between the screens using the keys and
touch-screen controls. If you change a selection, however, you are prompted to switch control to
local.
The OUTPUT ON/OFF switch is always active. If you press it when the instrument is controlled
remotely, the instrument turns the output off (if it is on) and switches to local control.
To switch to remote control, do one of the following actions:
•
Send a command from the computer to the instrument.
•
Open communications between the instrument and Test Script Builder.
