In remote control mode the instrument indicates the remote state in the display header.
The rest of the display remains unchanged and shows the current instrument status,
that means the status which exists under the remote control settings. The instrument
can be operated (for example dialogs can be opened). However, it is not possible to
enter or change values.
The status message additionally indicates whether the LOCAL key is disabled or
enabled.
See also Chapter 6.2.1, "Switching to Remote Control", on page 468.
The following states are indicated:
●
"REMOTE"
The LOCAL key switches the instrument from remote control to manual control.
The current command must be fully processed before the mode is switched, other-
wise the instrument switches immediately back to remote control.
●
"REM-LLO"
The LOCAL key is locked, inititated by the &LLO (local lockout) command. The
instrument can be switched from remote state to local state only via remote control,
for example with >R or the Visual Basic command CALL IBLOC
(generator%). The LOCAL key has previously been locked by the remote com-
mand &LLO.
When switching from remote to manual control, the display update function is automati-
cally deactivated ("SETUP" > "Start/Stop Display Update" > "Off").
5.2.5 Generating a Hard Copy of the Display
The save/recall function enables you to store the settings in a file. In addition, you can
create a hard copy of the current display to save the most important settings of a per-
formed signal generation in an image file.
