Panel Key Control
3.5.1 Remote control and panel control keys
The keys and lamps described in this paragraph are assigned on the front panel as
exclusive keys and lamps.
(1) REMOTE lamp and LOCAL key
The REMOTE lamp indicates that the MT8801C is controlled remotely via the
GPIB interface. When the MT8801C is controlled remotely from an external
controller via the GPIB interface on the rear panel, the REMOTE lamp lights.
While the REMOTE lamp is on, key entry and rotary encoder entry from the
front panel are disabled. The LOCAL key is used to cancel the remote control
status of the GPIB interface. When the LOCAL key is pressed, the REMOTE
lamp goes off and key entry and rotary encoder entry from the front panel are
enabled.
(2) PANEL LOCK key
The PANEL LOCK key is used to enable and disable key entry and rotary en-
coder entry from the front panel. Use the PANEL LOCK key to prevent an
operation error on the front panel for automatic measurement or status holding.
When the panel is locked, the green lamp on the PANEL LOCK key lights.
3.5.2 Remote control status

panel lights. While the REMOTE lamp is on, key entry and rotary encoder entry from
the front panel are disabled. To change from the remote control to front panel entry
status, execute the following steps:
(1) Halt the remote control.
(2) If the REMOTE lamp is on, press the LOCAL key to cancel the REMOTE status.
