Instrument access
You can specify that the control interfaces request access before taking control of the instrument.
There are several modes of access.
You can set one of the following levels of access to the instrument:
•
Full
: Allows full access for all users from all interfaces
•
Exclusive
: Allows access by one remote interface at a time with logins required from other
interfaces
•
Protected
: Allows access by one remote interface at a time with passwords required on all
interfaces
•
Lockout
: Allows access by one interface (including the front panel) at a time with passwords
required on all interfaces
The front panel is read-only when you are using a remote interface. You can view information and
swipe screens without being prompted to leave remote mode. If you attempt to make a change from
the front panel while the instrument is controlled from a remote interface, you will be prompted to
enter a password to gain access.
