17.5.3 Starting and stopping remote control
17.5.3.1 Starting a remote control session
When you switch on the instrument, it is always in manual operation state ("local"
state). It can be operated via the front panel, the touch screen and external keyboard
and/or mouse.
► To start remote control:
● Send a command from the controller.
● VXI-11 protocol (LAN interface): Use &GTR interface message.
While remote control is active, the instrument settings are optimized for maximum
measurement speed; the display is switched off. Operation via the front panel is dis-
abled.
On the touch screen, two buttons appear in the upper left corner: "Local" and "View".
17.5.3.2 Using the display during remote control
You can observe the screen while a remote control script is executed. This is helpful for
program test purposes but tends to slow down the measurement. Therefore it is rec-
ommended that you switch off the display in real measurement applications where a
tested program script is to be executed repeatedly.
► To switch on the display, do one of the following:
● Tap the "View" button in the upper left corner of the touch screen.
● Use the SYSTem:DISPlay:UPDate ON command.
► To switch off the display, do one of the following:
● Tap the "View" button again.
● Use the SYSTem:DISPlay:UPDate OFF command.
17.5.3.3 Returning to manual operation
The instrument switches back to manual operation when the remote connection is
closed. Besides, you can return to manual operation manually or via remote control.
► To return to manual operation:
● Tap the "Local" button in the upper left corner of the touch screen.
● VXI-11 protocol: Use &GTL interface message.
