If a monitor, an external keyboard and a mouse are connected, return to manual con-
trol: press key CTRL+F11.

Changing to Remote Control
After powering on, the instrument is always in manual control status (LOCAL) and can
be controlled from an external monitor, external keyboard and mouse.
To operate the instrument by remote control via an IEC/IEEE bus, you have to switch it
to the REMOTE mode by sending an addressed command while the REN line is set.
Otherwise, the instrument will remain in the LOCAL mode. If the REN line is cleared
while the instrument is in the REMOTE mode, the instrument automatically resets to
LOCAL.
For remote control via Ethernet (LAN), the changeover does not take place automati-
cally by sending a command; rather, the instrument must be set to REMOTE status
explicitly, e.g. by sending the interface command
>R
(Go-To-Remote).
In REMOTE status, instrument control from by a mouse and keyboard is disabled. But
the panels can be opened by the mouse and keyboard to verify settings for example.
In the Config Panel (in the menu Utilities) you can choose whether or not the panels
are to be updated during remote control with the parameter field "SCPI Update", see
also
In the middle of the screen you see the message "Remote Operation Active". On the
front panel the LED labeled REM illuminates over the Standby key.
Messages appearing during remote control are shown in the status line over the soft-
keys.
The instrument remains in the REMOTE status until local control is selected either
manually with the CTRL+F11 or in the "Remote Operation Active" window with a
mouse click on
X
or by the interface command
>L
. Processing of a command must
be completed before changing, otherwise there is an immediate return to remote con-
trol. Then the panels are updated.
Changing from manual control to remote control and vice versa does not change the
instrument settings.
6.3.1
Remote Control by IEC/IEEE Bus
To be able to control the instrument on the IEC/IEEE bus interface, the instrument and
controller must be linked by an IEC/IEEE bus cable. The controller must have an IEC/
IEEE bus card, the card drivers and the program libraries for the programming lan-
guage that is used.
The controller must address the instrument by the set IEC/IEEE bus address. The IEC/
IEEE bus address of the instrument is factory-set to 20. It can be altered in the Config
Panel (in the Utilities menu) with the "GPIB Address" parameter field, see also
