Switching between Remote and Local Modes
When Switching from Local to Remote Mode
This instrument switches to remote mode when it is in local mode and it receives a
:COMMunicate:REMote ON
command from the PC.
• The REMOTE indicator illuminates.
• All keys except the
SHIFT (LOCAL)
key are disabled.
• Settings entered in local mode are retained even when this instrument switches to remote mode.
When Switching from Remote to Local Mode
When this instrument is in remote mode and you press SHIFT (LOCAL), this instrument switches to
local mode. However, this does not work if this instrument has received a
:COMMunicate:LOCKout
ON
command from the PC. This instrument switches to local mode when it receives a
:COMMunicate:REMote OFF
command from the PC, regardless of the local lockout state.
• The REMOTE indicator turns off.
• Key operations are enabled.
• Settings entered in remote mode are retained even when this instrument switches to local mode.
Note
You cannot use the Ethernet interface simultaneously with other interfaces (GP-IB, RS-232, and USB).
