The front panel is the default user interface at power-up or after a reset. It is also the default during a software download or when a failure occurs at either the local or remote PC interface.

You can switch an inactive user interface to active if,

•The current active user interface has had no activity (no key was pressed) for at least five minutes, and/or

•The active user interface has been released with the Release command.
