LOCAL
Purpose

Remark
The REMOTE program message can lock the front panel out completely. The user can return
to local operation by sending the LOCAL program message, sending the IEEE-488 ‘GTL’
command (if in enhanced format), or by cycling RPM4 power.
Example

MEM
Purpose
Read the status from the power-up memory test.
Query “MEM?”
Classic “MEM”
Remarks
The RPM4 system memory stores the user settings (units, resolution) and retains them when
the unit is OFF. On power-up, this memory is checked. If this memory is corrupted, all user
settings are reset to default , and the MEM status is set to reflect this.
Example
(enhanced) Query sent:
Reply: “MEM?”
“0” RPM4 data corrupted and was set to factory defaults.
“1” The memory was found to be OK on power-up.
Example
(classic) Sent:
Reply: “MEM”
“MEM=0” RPM4 data corrupted and was set to factory defaults.
“MEM=1” The memory was found to be OK on power-up.
