Remote Operation 11-13
LOCAL key
The LOCAL 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.
Status structure
See Figure 11-4 for the Model 2182’s status structure. Instrument events, such as errors, are
monitored and manipulated by four status register sets. Notice that these status register sets feed
directly into the Status Byte Register. More detailed illustrations of these register sets are
provided in Figure 11-5 through Figure 11-9.
NOTE The status structures registers are configured and controlled by STATus Subsystem
commands (see Section 15) and Common Commands (see *ESE, *ESR?, *SRE and
*STB in Section 12).
