14.4.6 Returning to Manual Mode ("Local")
When switched on, the instrument is always in the manual measurement mode and
can be operated via the front panel. As soon as the instrument receives a remote com-
mand, it is switched to the remote control mode.
In remote control mode, all keys of the instrument except the [PRESET] key are dis-
abled. The "LOCAL" softkey and the Remote Display Update softkey are displayed.
Local
The instrument switches from remote to manual operation, but only if the local lockout
function has not been activated in the remote control mode (see "GPIB Interface Mes-
sages" on page 362).
Furthermore, when you return to manual operation, the following happens:
●
All front panel keys are enabled.
●
The main softkey menu of the current mode is displayed.
●
The measurement diagrams, traces and display fields are displayed again.
●
If, at the time of pressing the "LOCAL" softkey, the synchronization mechanism via
*OPC, *OPC? or *WAI is active, the currently running measurement procedure is
aborted and synchronization is achieved by setting the corresponding bits in the
registers of the status reporting system.
●
Bit 6 (User Request) of the Event Status Register is set.
