8.2 Changing Between Remote and Local Operation

There are three modes of operation of the calibrator, Local, Remote, 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.
3. To switch back to local operation enter LOCAL at the terminal. This command also turns off

section.
