Local/Remote Operation Mode
The load provides two operation modes: Local and remote.
Local Operation Mode
After you power on the instrument, it enters the local operation mode by default.
In the local operation mode, all the keys on the front panel are available for you
to use.
Remote Operation Mode
In the remote operation mode, you can send programming commands from a
controller (computer) via any one of the interfaces (GPIB, USB, RS232, or
LAN). In remote operation mode, all the keys (except the Shift key plus the
Display key) will be disabled. This is known as “local lock out”. When locked,
the instrument front panel is disabled and the load can only be controlled via
programming commands. To return to the local operation mode, press the
Shift key plus the Display key on the front panel.
