I did not try that, but thank you.
Any front panel buttons to get out of a lock state? I'm not sure the front panel was locked but in some lala state. Some controls worked (knobs) but none of the buttons. I held everyone several seconds trying to regains control. I had to power cycle the scope to regain control.
I think I found the command that was doing it and after adding that extra "E" the issue did not re-occur. For the future, I think I will add and LED control (great fokes on the Visual Basic forum wrote a wonderful new control for that) to my various programs just to add an indication of the panel lock.
With some instruments, like the Agilent E3632A Power Supply, I have to Assert Remote control for full control to work. With the Tek Scopes, I do not do that and they work well. In fact, I don't think the assert remote command even works with them (I would have to review).
The other tek scopes, if you send a bad command to them, they respond in kind, stating a bad command was sent. The MSO4104 does also, unless the command is damn close, then it just goes in to lala land - lol. Its brain locks as (as does mine when this happens).
