:LOCal
:SYSTem:LOCal Take Model 2510 out of remote
Description
Normally, during RS-232 communications, front panel keys are opera-
tional. However, the user may wish to lock out front panel keys during
RS-232 communications. See
“:RWLock,” page 10-53 .
This command is used to remove the Model 2510 from the remote state
and enables the operation of front panel keys. Its operation is similar to
the IEEE-488 GTL command (
Section 6 ).
:REMote
:SYSTem:REMote Place the Model 2510 in remote
Description
This command is used to place the Model 2510 in the remote state. In
remote, the front panel keys will be locked out if local lockout is
asserted. See :RWLock. :REMote performs the same function as the
IEEE-488 REN command (
Section 6 ).
:RWLock
:SYSTem:RWLock Disable front panel keys
Description
This command is used to enable or disable local lockout. When enabled,
the front panel keys are locked out (not operational) when the instru-
ment is in remote. (See
“:REMote,” page 10-53 .) When disabled, the
front panel keys are operational in remote. :RWLock performs the same
function as the IEEE-488 LLO command (
Section 6 ).
NOTE OUTPUT OFF is still operational in local lockout.
