7.2 Changing Between Remote and Local Operation
There are three modes of operation of the calibrator, Local, Remote,
and Remote with Lockout. Local mode is the default mode.
Commands may be entered using the keypad on the unit or using a
computer. In Remote mode the keypad is disabled, and commands
may only be entered using a computer, but choosing [GO TO
LOCAL] from the menu on the calibrator display will restore keypad
operation. In Remote with Lockout, the keypad can not be used at
all. To switch modes proceed as follows:
1. To enable Remote mode, type in the serial command REMOTE at
the computer terminal.
2. To enable Remote with Lockout, type in REMOTE and LOCKOUT
in either order.
3. To switch back to local operation enter LOCAL at the terminal. This
command also turns off LOCKOUT if it was on. For more
information on commands refer to the Remote Commands
section.
