Remote CONtrol Sub-Register

This identifies which remote interface is controlling the unit. Only one bit is active

at a time with the exception of analog control, where voltage or current alone, or both

may be under remote control. Current share mode is considered to be under local

control, even though the user cannot adjust the voltage setting from the front panel.
