Switchover to Remote Control

On power-on, the instrument is always in the manual operating state and can be operated via external
mouse, keyboard and monitor.
In case of remote control via the IEC/IEEE bus, the instrument is set to remote control (REMOTE
status) by means of an addressed command.
With remote control via Ethernet, remote control is not automatically set by means of a command. The
instrument must be explicitly set to the REMOTE state, e.g. by sending the interface command &GTR
(go to remote).
In the REMOTE state, instrument control via external mouse, keyboard and monitor is disabled. Dialogs
can be opened, however, e.g. to verify settings. Buttons and setting fields are displayed in gray and
cannot be activated. REMOTE is displayed in the status line.
The instrument remains in the REMOTE mode until local control is selected either manually with the
+ key combination on the external keyboard or with the interface command &GTL via the
Ctrl Q
remote-control interface.
Switching from manual operation to remote control and vice versa does not affect the remaining
instrument settings.
In the remote control mode, an external mouse or keyboard that may be connected can be disabled
with the keyboard lock command:
:SYST:KLOC ON
Dialogs cannot be opened in this case and switchover from remote control to manual operation is only
possible by means of a remote-control command. Inadvertent switchover with the
combination is not possible in this case.
Operation of the +
Ctrl
1401.3084.32
key combination alone can be disabled with interface command &LLO.
