Remote Operation
When an instrument operates in remote,
all local controls, except the local key,
are disabled.
Local Operation
An instrument operates in local when it is
not in remote mode as defined above.
Local Lockout
In addition to the remote state, an instru
-
ment can be set to remote with ‘local
lockout’. This disables the return-to-local
button. In theory, the state local with lo-
cal lockout is also possible; then, all local
controls except the return-to-local key
are active.
The Counter in Remote Operation
When the Counter is in remote operation,
it disables all its local controls except the
LOCAL key.
The Counter in Local Operation
When the Counter is in local operation
the instrument is fully programmable
both from the front panel and from the
bus. If a bus message arrives while a
change is being entered from the front
panel, the front panel entry is interrupted
and the bus message is executed.
We recommend you to use Remote mode
when using counters from the bus. If not,
the counter measures continously and the
initiation command :INIT will have no
effect.
