mode
This command reports what operating mode the instrument is in: local,
service, or remote. The example below shows that the instrument is in the
remote mode.

Receive: mode remote
set mode local
set mode remote
These commands set the instrument to local or remote mode. The example

allow mode cmd
This command reports the current allow mode setting: 1 = allow "set mode
local" or "set mode remote" commands; 0 = ignore "set mode local" or "set
mode remote" commands. The default value is 0; ignore the commands
(refer to the table that follows). The example that follows shows that the
instrument is configured to ignore "set mode local" or "set mode remote"
commands.
Send: allow mode cmd
Receive: allow mode cmd 0
set allow mode cmd value
This command is used to configure the instrument to value, where value is
either 1 = accept or 0 = ignore the "set mode local" and "set mode remote"
commands. Refer to the table that follows.
If the instrument is set to accept the commands (value = 1), the "set mode
local" command will unlock the instrument and the keypad can be used to
make changes via the front panel.
If the instrument is set to ignore the commands (value = 0), the instrument
will respond with "ok" as if the command has been accepted and acted
upon, but will not change the instrument lock status (this is for
compatibility with systems expecting an "ok" response).
Note The instrument will always respond to the command "mode" with
the status of the password lock as "mode local" or "mode remote"
regardless of the above setting. ▲
