3.4 Local/Remote Control
Local (front panel) control is in effect immediately after power is applied. The front
panel keypad and display allow manual control of individual modules when the Load is
used in bench test applications. Remote control goes into effect as soon as the
Mainframe receives a command via GPIB or RS-232C. With remote control in effect,
only the computer can control the Load. The front panel keypad has no effect except
the LCL key. You can return the Load to local control from remote control by pressing
LCL key. The SHIFT key acts as LCL when the Load is in a remote state.
Most of the functions that perform remotely can perform locally too at the front panel of
Mainframe. The keypads on the module can perform simple functions like short, load
on/off, static /dynamic, and load A/B or display selection R/L.
Instructions for local operation are detailed in Chapter 4.
