Manual Operation – Local Menu
When switched on, the instrument is always in the manual measurement mode and
can be operated via the front panel. As soon as the instrument receives a remote com-
mand, it is switched to the remote control mode.
In remote control mode, all keys of the instrument except the PRESET key are dis-
abled, see
Chapter 9.3, "Instrument Setup and Interface Configuration – SETUP Key"
on page 475. The "LOCAL" softkey and the
played. Depending on the setting of the
softkey, the diagrams,
traces and display fields are displayed or hidden. For further details on the

For details on remote control refer to
Chapter 11.1, "Remote Control - Basics"
If you select the "Local" softkey while a self-alignment or a self-test is still running
(which was started remotely), the instrument only returns to the manual operation state
when the alignment or test is completed.
The change to manual operation consists of:
●
Enabling the Front Panel Keys
Returning to manual mode enables all inactive keys. The main softkey menu of the
current mode is displayed.
●
Displaying the measurement diagrams again.
The diagrams, traces and display fields are displayed again.
●
Generating the "OPERATION COMPLETE" message
If, at the time of pressing the "LOCAL" softkey, the synchronization mechanism via
*OPC, *OPC? or *WAI is active, the currently running measurement procedure is
aborted and synchronization is achieved by setting the corresponding bits in the
registers of the status reporting system.
●
Setting Bit 6 (User Request) of the Event Status Register
With a corresponding configuration of the status reporting system, this bit immedi-
ately causes the generation of a service request (SRQ) to inform the control soft-
ware that the user wishes to return to front panel control. For example this can be
used to interrupt the control program and to correct instrument settings manually.
This bit is set each time the "LOCAL" softkey is pressed.
To return to manual operation
► Press the "LOCAL" softkey.
