User Manual

6 Remote Interface

The instrument comes with USB (virtual COM), GPIB, and LAN interfaces for

remote control. This chapter will describe how users can remotely operate

the instrument and use SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable

Instruments) commands over any one of these remote interfaces.

NOTE: The green RMT indicator will appear on the lower right of the display

when the LCR meter is successfully connected to a PC remotely through any

remote interface. Keys on the front panel will be locked until the instrument

is in LOCAL mode. To return to LOCAL mode from the front panel, press the

key. The RMT indicator will disappear when the instrument is in LOCAL

mode.
