replacing the TEC voltage measured at the
instrument with the voltage measured
through pins 2 and 9 of the 17W2
connector.
No
Invert ITE
Reverses the direction of the current. Same
as reversing the TE+ and TE- wires.

Remote Mode Operation
Remote mode operation is when the TECSource is being controlled by a
computer over the USB or RS232 interfaces. When in remote mode, the
TECSource behaves differently, preventing you from affecting the operation of
the instrument. Some of the primary differences are you will not be able to
change the set point, turn the output on or off, or enter the menu. While menu
access is never allowed in remote mode, you can enable set point adjustment
and out put on off control by changing the Set While Rmt menu item to Yes in
the Communications menu, or use the REMSET command via the computer
interface.
You can exit remote mode at any time by pressing the Menu button, which has
a secondary function to return the TECSource to local operation when in remote
mode.
Details on how to communicate with the TECSource can be found in a separate
Computer Interfacing Manual, which is included on the CD that accompanied
this product.
