Description

 

In query form, this command reads the last key pressed. The buffer is

 

emptied by *RST and returns the value -1 when empty.

 

In set form, the command simulates pressing a key on the frontpanel.

 

Simulated key-press are also recorded as the last key pressed.

NOTE

:SYST:KEY 19 sets the instrument to LOCAL mode.

 

1. In remote mode only the softkeys under the display and the SHIFT

(LOCAL) key are active. Since the instrument normally switches to remote mode when any command is received, including :SYSTem:KEY, simulating one of the other disabled keys has no effect.

2. If you want to simulate full frontpanel operation, you must prevent the instrument from entering remote mode by using the REN line of the GP-IB to maintain local mode (LOCAL 7 in BASIC).

If you do this, the :SYSTem:KEY command is the only command which works. Any other commands will be buffered in the instrument blocking any further :SYSTem:KEY commands, until remote mode is enable.
