This key activates the unit's remote interface. You can choose between the RS232C and RS485
protocols. The unit must be set first before activating the remote interface.
The RS232C protocol is selected as default, and the Baud rate is set for 9,600bps when at the tim
shipment from the factory.
Connection settings are available only from the front panel.
▌The IO/Local settings are permanently saved on the non-volatile memory before being changed,
so it does not change even when power is turned off.
▌When the remote interface is activated, the front panel's RMT lamp lights up,
and the unit can be controlled only through the remote device.
▌Press the IO/Local key and switch to local mode to return the control to the unit.

This can be different depending on
the previous state.
▌Depending on the previous settings, RS232C or RS485, USB, TCP/IP
is displayed while the unit is booting up. If "1.RS232C" is not displayed,
press the cursor key to set "I/O> 1.RS232C" displayed on the LCD.

This can be different depending on
the previous state.
▌The Baud rate is composed of 9,600, 19,200, 38,400, 57,600, 115,200, and 230,
400bps.This must be identical to the remote interface’s Baud rate.
For example, press the right cursor key four times to select 115,200bps.

Now, the interface is RS232C, and the Baud rate is 115,200bps.
What is bps? This stands for bit/sec, which means how many bits of data can be transferred per second
The higher the number is, the faster the speed.
