USING THE FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
Introduction
The front-panel controls allow you to use the main features of the
1257 without the use of a remote interface such as IEEE-488
(GPIB) or RS-232. This may be useful during initial setup or when
troubleshooting a system.
Table 3-1, Accessibility of Features
lists the features of the 1257
and indicates their accessibility via remote interface and front-
panel controls.
