SENSE
Set the output
0=local, 1=remote
MODE
Set the instrument operating mode to LINK or assign control to output 1 or 2
0 = linked, 1 = assign control to output 1, 2 = assign control to output 2.
Setting linked mode uniquely affects the way the instrument responds to some
remote commands. Commands to set Range, Voltage, Current Limit, OVP or
OCP sent to either Output 1 or Output 2 will change the setting on both outputs
simultaneously. Similarly, increment/decrement commands sent to either Main
output will step V or I on both outputs; however, the step size will be that set for
the individual output. Assigning control to outputs 1 or 2 exits linked mode but
has no other affect until the instrument is returned to local operation.
Any operating mode set in remote operation will be retained when the
instrument is returned to local operation.
MODE?
Return the current operating mode
– response is LINKED or CTRL

IFLOCK?
Query the status of the interface lock. The return value is 1 if the lock is owned
by the requesting interfaced instance; 0 if there is no active lock or –1 if the lock
is unavailable either because it is already in use, or the user has disabled this
interface from taking control using the web interface.
IFUNLOCK
Release the lock if possible. This command returns the value 0 if successful.
If this command is unsuccessful –1 is returned, 200 is placed in the Execution
Register and bit 4 of the Event Status Register is set indicating that there is no
authority to release the lock.
