Operation
While in remote mode, use the interface commands to control the output of the
power supply from a computer. See Section 3, “Operation” for a complete list of
device-dependent commands available with this interface. For information about
how to use GPIB commands and GPIB lines, refer to the documentation for the
particular GPIB controller interface installed on your computer.
While in remote mode, you can change to local mode operation by sending the
GPIB GTL (Go to Local) command, or by negating the GPIB REN (Remote
Enable) line.
