Manual Operation - Local Menu
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 command, it is switched to the remote
control mode.
In remote control mode, all keys of the instrument except the PRESET key are disabled. The LOCAL
softkey and the Display Update On/Off softkey are displayed. Depending on the setting of the Display
Update On/Off softkey, the diagrams, traces and display fields are displayed or hidden. For further
details on the Display Update On/Off softkey refer to section "Instrument Setup and Interface
Configuration - SETUP Key".
For details on remote control refer to chapter 5 "Remote Control - Basics".
The change to manual operation consists of:
• Enabling the Front Panel Keys
Returning to manual mode enables all inactive keys. The main softkey menu of the current mode is
displayed.
• Displaying the measurement diagrams again.
The diagrams, traces and display fields are displayed again.
• Generating the OPERATION COMPLETE message
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.
• Setting Bit 6 (User Request) of the Event Status Register
With a corresponding configuration of the status reporting system, this bit immediately causes the
generation of a service request (SRQ) to inform the control software that the user wishes to return
to front panel control. For example this can be used to interrupt the control program and to correct
instrument settings manually. This bit is set each time the LOCAL softkey is pressed.
To return to manual operation
Press the LOCAL softkey.
The instrument switches from remote to manual operation, but only if the local lockout function has
not been activated in the remote control mode.
