Returning to Manual Mode ("Local")
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 com-
mand, it is switched to the remote control mode.
In remote control mode, all keys of the instrument except the [PRESET] key are dis-
abled. The "LOCAL" softkey and the
softkey are displayed.
Local
The instrument switches from remote to manual operation, but only if the local lockout
function has not been activated in the remote control mode (see
Furthermore, when you return to manual operation, the following happens:
●
All front panel keys are enabled.
●
The main softkey menu of the current mode is displayed.
●
The measurement diagrams, traces and display fields are displayed again.
●
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.
●
Bit 6 (User Request) of the Event Status Register is set.
If the status reporting system is configured accordingly, 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 inter-
rupt the control program and to correct instrument settings manually. This bit is set
each time the "LOCAL" softkey is pressed.
Note:
Before you switch back to manual operation, all remote command processing
must be completed. Otherwise, the instrument will switch back to remote control imme-
diately.
If you select the "Local" softkey while a self-alignment or a self-test is still running
(which was started remotely), the instrument only returns to the manual operation state
when the alignment or test is completed.
