Operation Modes
The Serial BERT can be operated in one of two modes: local or remote.
In local mode, all the front panel controls are responsive and control the instrument.
In remote mode, the front panel controls are inoperative and the instrument is
controlled by the client. The front panel display reflects the remote programming
commands received.
The Serial BERT automatically enters remote mode when a command has been
received from the client. This is indicated at the top of the front panel (the RMT
status light).
To return to local mode, press the front panel Local key. When you power-cycle
the instrument, it will also start in local mode.
