Chapter Seven: IEEE-488 Communications Option
General Information
Note
The information in this chapter only applies if your 670 instrument is
configured with the IEEE-488 Communications option. If your 670
instrument is configured with the RS-232 communication option, refer to
Chapter Six, RS-232 Communications Option, page 85, for remote
communications information.
The IEEE-488 communications option complies with the ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2 - 1992 (this
standard encompasses the ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.1 - 1987).
Key Lock Switch
To configure the 670 instrument to accept commands issued through IEEE-488 communications,
place the Key Lock switch, located on the front panel, in the
REMOTE
position. While
operating the 670 instrument in the
REMOTE
mode, the front panel controls are locked out and
the display shows status information only. The 670 instrument expects to receive commands and
instructions through the IEEE-488 communications or through the rear panel connectors. When
the Key Lock switch is in the
LOCAL
position, the 670 instrument behaves in the opposite
manner — it accepts commands from the front panel only and ignores commands issued by
IEEE-488 communications or the rear panel connectors. Only status information is available
through IEEE-488 communications.
Figure 6, page 31, shows the location of the Key Lock switch.
