401Operating Manual 1407.6062.32 ─ 08
The instrument remains in the remote state until it is reset to the manual state via the
instrument or via the remote control interface (see chapter 6.2.2, "Returning to Man-
ual Operation", on page 401).
Tip: Switching from manual operation to remote control and vice versa does not affect
the other instrument settings.
2. Although operation via front panel, mouse and keyboard is disabled, the dialog boxes
can still be opened, e.g. to verify settings, but buttons and setting fields are displayed
in gray and cannot be activated.
Use the command SYST:KLOC ON to disable the access to the dialogs.
3. To prevent unintentional return to manual operation, disable the LOCAL key of the
instrument using the &LLO command (see chapter 6.1.3.4, "LAN Interface Mes-
sages", on page 396).
The instrument switches to "REM-LLO" state and transition to manual mode is not
anymore possible via the remote control command *GTL.
Switching to manual mode is only possible via remote control then.
4. Enable the LOCAL key with the interface message &NREN.
6.2.2 Returning to Manual Operation
Before returning to manual control, command processing must be completed. Otherwise,
the instrument switches back to remote control immediately.
► To return to manual operation, use one of the following ways:
a) Press the LOCAL key on the front panel.
b) Select "Setup > Remote Control Channels" and press "Local".
c) While using the socket communication, terminate the remote control session.
d) Send the interface command >L via the remote control interface.
