► To start remote control:
● Send a command from the controller.
● VXI-11 protocol (LAN or USB interface): Use >R interface message.
While remote control is active, the instrument settings are optimized for maximum
measurement speed; the display is switched off. Operation via the front panel is dis-
abled.
On the touchscreen, two buttons appear in the upper left corner: "Local" and "View".
16.4.2.2 Using the display during remote control
You can observe the screen while a remote control script is executed. Displaying the
results of script execution is helpful for program test purposes but tends to slow down
the measurement. Therefore it is recommended that you switch off the display in real
measurement applications where a tested program script is to be executed repeatedly.
► To switch on the display, do one of the following:
● Tap the "View" button in the upper left corner of the touch screen.
● Use the SYSTem:DISPlay:UPDate ON command.
► To switch off the display, do one of the following:
● Tap the "View" button again.
● Use the SYSTem:DISPlay:UPDate OFF command.
16.4.2.3 Returning to manual operation
The instrument switches back to manual operation when the remote connection is
closed. Besides, you can return to manual operation manually or via remote control.
► To return to manual operation:
● Tap the "Local" button in the upper left corner of the touch screen.
● VXI-11 protocol: Use >L interface message.

registers and in the error queue. Both can be queried via STATus... commands.
