Ethernet Interface Functions
Receive Function
• You can enter the same settings that are available
using the front panel keys.
• You can receive measured or computed data, panel
setup information, and error code output requests.
Transmission Function
• You can output measured or computed data.
• You can output panel setup information and status
bytes.
• You can output any error codes that are generated.
Switching between Remote and Local
When Switching from Local to Remote Mode
When in local mode, if the :COMMunicate:REMote ON
command is received from the PC, the instrument
enters remote mode.
• The REMOTE indicator (see section 1.2)
illuminates.
• When not in LOCAL mode, keys are disabled.
• The settings that existed in local mode are
maintained even when the instrument switches to
remote mode.
When Switching from Remote to Local Mode
Pressing LOCAL when the instrument is in remote
mode causes the instrument to switch to local mode.
However, this is disabled if the
:COMMunicate:LOCKout ON command is received
from the PC (local lockout mode is ON). If the
:COMMunicate:REMote OFF command is received
from the PC, the instrument enters local mode
regardless of the lockout mode.
• REMOTE indicator goes out.
• Key operations are enabled.
• The settings that existed in remote mode are
maintained even when the instrument switches to
local mode.
Note
Ethernet communications cannot be carried out simultaneously
with other modes of communication (such as GP-IB).
