and Remote with Lockout. Local mode is the default mode.
Commands may be entered using the keypad on the unit or using a
computer. In Remote mode the keypad is disabled, and commands
may only be entered using a computer, but choosing [GO TO
LOCAL] from the menu on the calibrator display will restore keypad
operation. In Remote with Lockout, the keypad can not be used at
all. To switch modes proceed as follows:
1. To enable Remote mode, type in the serial command REMOTE at
the computer terminal.
2. To enable Remote with Lockout, type in REMOTE and LOCKOUT
in either order.
