This
key
is
allows
you
to
return
the
analyzer
to
local
(front
panel)
operation
from
remote
(computer
controlled)
operation.
This
key
will
also
abort
a
test
sequence
or
hardcopy
print/plot.
In
this
local
mode
,
with
a
controller
still
connected
on
HP-IB
,
you
can
operate
the
analyzer
manually
(locally)
from
the
front
panel.
This
is
the
only
front
panel
key
that is
not
disabled
when
the
analyzer
is
remotely
controlled
over
HP-IB
by
a
computer
.
The
exception to
this
is
when
local
lockout
is
in
eect:
this
is
a
remote
command
that
disables
the
4
LOCAL
5
key
,
making
it
dicult
to
interfere
with
the
analyzer
while
it
is
under
computer
control.

the 4

provides access
to
the
HP-IB

set
the
controller
mode
,

The analyzer is factory-equipped with a remote programming interface using the
Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB). This enables communication between the analyzer and
a controlling computer as well as other peripheral devices
. This menu indicates the present
HP-IB controller mode of the analyzer
. Three HP-IB modes are possible: system controller
,
talker/listener, and pass control.
