Reading Instrument Software Versions

Perform the procedure in Figure 2-22 to view the version of the internal software that is controlling the instrument’s operation. Two software versions are identified with this procedure: the main software that operates all instrument functions, and the analog-to- digital software that operates the instrument analog-to-digital converter.

Returning to the Local Mode

Perform the procedure in Figure 2-23 to return the instrument from the remote mode to the local mode. When the instrument is operated over the RS-232 computer interface, the computer can disable all front panel controls except the Qkey, which lights the REM annunciator (bright). If the REM annunciator is dim, the front panel keys are locked out (see Figure 2-24).

Returning to the LOCAL Mode. Press the

SHIFTSHIFT key to return instrument control from RS–232 computer interface control to front panel control. When the computer has control, the REM annunciator is on (bright) and only the SCAN key operates, triggering single scans. A return to LOCAL control is allowed at any time, even during scanning. (This assumes the RWLS computer command has not been invoked. See Section 4 for information on commands REMS, RWLS, and LOCS.)
