Front Panel Key Lockout Options

Perform the procedure in Figure 2-24 to lockout the front panel key functions. There are three lockout features:

∙Monitor Mode Lockout

∙Review Mode Lockout

A third lockout can be enabled only from the computer interface (see the LOCK 3 command in Chapter 4).

The Monitor Mode lockout is entered when the instrument is in the Monitor Mode; the Review Mode Lockout is entered when the instrument is in the Review Mode. When lockout is enabled, the instrument becomes "locked" in a selected mode preventing any unauthorized instrument operations. A repeat of the lockout keystrokes releases the lockout and the instrument resumes normal operation. When in the locked condition, the front panel REM indicator is on (dim). This feature allows inexperienced operators to use the instrument without having to change the mode of operation. The keystrokes used to enable or disable the lockout option is normally not revealed to unauthorized personnel.
