Remote Mode and Indicators
When RS-232 interface is selected, SYSTem:REMote command must be the
first sent command. Otherwise, if another command is sent first, Power supply
in local mode message will be sent to PC.
While in remote interface mode of operation (after sending SYSTem:REMote
command), rmt indicator will be displayed. In this case, all front panel keys are
disabled, except Remote / Local key, which is active. This key allows you to
put the power supply in local mode of operation, so all front panel keys become
active.
In order to control the power supply using remote commands again,
SYSTem:REMote command must be sent again, before any other commmand.
When GPIB interface is selected, adr indicator is displayed when the power
supply is addressed (either as a Listener or as a Talker) or when a GPIB
command is sent over the interface.
When SYSTem:REMote command is sent over the GPIB interface, an error will
be generated: Err 501, Command allowed only in RS-232.
