Front Panel Keys

 

 

Lockout

 

 

The ability to lock the front panel from the front panel is only available on

 

NOTE

 

 

power system mainframes with firmware revision B.00.00 and up.

You can lock the front panel keys to prevent unwanted control of the instrument from the front panel. This is the most secure way of locking the front panel keys because you need a password to unlock the front panel. The lockout setting is saved in non-volatile memory so that the front panel remains locked even after AC power is cycled.

Front Panel:

SCPI Command:

Select System\Preferences\Lock

Not Available

In the dialog box, enter the password to

 

unlock the front panel. Then select Lock.

 

The menu to unlock the front panel

 

appears every time a key is pressed. Enter

 

the password to unlock the front panel.

 

 

 

If the password is lost, the SYSTem:PASSword:FPANel:RESet command can

NOTE

 

 

reset the front panel lockout password. Refer to the Programmer’s Reference

 

 

Help file on your Agilent N6700 Product Reference CD for more information.

 

 

The SYSTem:COMMunicate:RLSTate RWLock command can also lock and

 

 

unlock the front panel. This command is completely independent of the front

 

 

panel lockout function. If you use this command to lock the front panel, the

 

 

front panel will be unlocked when AC power is cycled.
