The factory preset function resets nearly all instrument settings. In addition to the regu-
lar preset by means of the PRESET key, a "Factory Preset" resets also the following
values:
●
Reference frequency settings ("Ref Oscillator" menu)
●
Power on settings ("Level/EMF" menu)
●
Network settings including hostname ("Setup" menu)
●
Remote channel settings including GPIB address ("Setup" menu)
●
Start/Stop display update ("Setup" menu)
●
Display and keyboard settings ("Setup" menu).
To maintain security, password settings and all settings protected by these passwords
like disabled USB and LAN connections are not changed.
Not affected by the "Factory Preset" are also user data, lists or instrument settings
files, created for example by means of the Save/Recall function.

Help
The "Help" dialog offers comprehensive online help for the R&S
SMB. A desired topic

5.2.4 Switching to Manual Control - Local Key
The local key switches from remote control to manual control (local state).
In remote control mode the instrument indicates the remote state in the display header.
The rest of the display remains unchanged and shows the current instrument status,
that means the status which exists under the remote control settings. The instrument
can be operated (for example dialogs can be opened). However, it is not possible to
enter or change values.
The status message additionally indicates whether the LOCAL key is disabled or
enabled.
The following states are indicated:
●
"REMOTE"
The LOCAL key switches the instrument from remote control to manual control.
The current command must be fully processed before the mode is switched, other-
wise the instrument switches immediately back to remote control.
●
"REM-LLO"
The LOCAL key is locked, inititated by the
&LLO
(local lockout) command. The
instrument can be switched from remote state to local state only via remote control,
for example with
>R
or the Visual Basic command
CALL IBLOC
(generator%)
. The LOCAL key has previously been locked by the remote com-
mand
&LLO
.
