Unlocking the remote interface
If the remote interface is locked, you must enter the password before the 2600B responds to any
command issued over a remote interface.
The password for the example below is Keithley.
To unlock the remote interface, send the following command:
password Keithley
The 2600B is unlocked and communicates with any remote interface.
Resetting the password
If you forget the password, you can reset the password from the front panel. Once you enable the
password feature, the 2600B stores this password until the LAN configuration is reset or until you
reset the password.
To reset the password:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key.
2. Select RESET-PASSWORD.
Resetting the LAN settings also resets the password feature. If you reset the LAN settings, you must
re-enable the password feature.
Key-press codes
You can use key codes to remotely simulate pressing a front-panel key or the navigation wheel.
There are also key codes to simulate rotating the navigation wheel to the left or right (one click
at a time).
Sending key codes
Use the display.sendkey() function to remotely simulate pressing a front-panel key or the
navigation wheel. The following programming examples illustrate how to simulate pressing the MENU
key in two different ways:
display.sendkey(display.KEY_MENU)
display.sendkey(68)
