11-10 Communications Interfaces
LOCAL key
The LOCAL (EXIT) key cancels the remote state and restores local operation of
the instrument. Pressing the LOCAL key also turns off the REM indicator and
returns the display to normal if a user-defined message was displayed.
If the LLO (Local Lockout) command is in effect, the LOCAL key is also
inoperative. For safety reasons, the OUTPUT OFF key can be used to turn the
output off while in LLO. Note that pressing LOCAL or OUTPUT OFF will also abort
any commands or scripts that are being processed.

Remote RS-232 parameters
Commands to set RS-232 parameters are listed in
more information.
Note that changing the serial port settings take effect when the command is
processed. Any response messages generated after processing these commands
will be sent with the new settings. If command messages are being queued (sent
before these commands have executed), the new settings may take effect in the
middle of a subsequent command message, so care should be exercised when
setting these attributes from the remote interface.
