Switching between Remote and Local Modes
Switching from Local to Remote Mode
The DLM4000 switches to Remote mode when it is in Local mode and it receives a
:COMMunicate:REMote ON
command from the PC.
• “REMOTE” appears at the top center of the screen once the DLM4000 is in Remote mode.
• All keys except
SHIFT+CLEAR TRACE
key are disabled.
• The Local mode settings are retained even when the DLM4000 switches to Remote mode.
Switching from Remote to Local Mode
When the DLM4000 is in Remote mode and you press
SHIFT+CLEAR TRACE
key, the DLM4000
switches to Local mode. However, this does not work if the DLM4000 has received a
:COMMunicate:LOCKout ON
command from the PC. The DLM4000 switches to Local mode
when it receives a :COMMunicate:REMote OFF command from the PC, regardless of the local
lockout state.
• The “REMOTE” indicator at the top center of the screen disappears once the DLM4000 is in
Local mode.
• All keys are enabled.
• The Remote mode settings are retained even when the DLM4000 switches to Local mode.
Note
You cannot use the Ethernet interface at the same time as other interfaces (GP-IB and USB interfaces).
Setting the Timeout Value
If the DLM4000 is not accessed for a specified amount of time (set as a timeout value), the
DLM4000 closes the connection to the network. You can set the timeout value in the range of 0
to 600 s. The default value is 0 s. For instructions on how to set the timer value, see section 2.4,
“Network Configuration on the DLM4000.”
