Remote control
When the instrument is controlled remotely, the front-panel controls are disabled. You can still view
information on the front-panel display and move between the screens using the keys and touchscreen
controls. If you change a selection, however, you are prompted to switch control to local.
The OUTPUT ON/OFF switch is always active. If you press it when the instrument is controlled
remotely, the instrument turns the output off (if it is on) and switches to local control.
To switch to remote control:
• Send a command from the computer to the instrument.
• Open communications between the instrument and Test Script Builder.
Local control
To change to local control, you can:
• Choose an option from the screens and try to change the value; select Yes on the dialog box that
is displayed.
• Send the logout command from the computer.
• Turn the instrument off and on.
Using the TSP command reference
The TSP command reference contains detailed descriptions of each of the TSP commands that you
can use to control your instrument. Each command description is broken into subsections. The figure
below shows an example of a command description.
