Abstract
A remote master-slave control method uses a single command line from a master instrument to a slave instrument. Commands executed at the master instrument are transmitted to the slave instrument via the single command line, and are in turn executed by the slave instrument only if an operator controlled input is "on" at the time of receipt of the command. For instrument setups a recall command from the master instrument will be executed by the slave instrument if the operator controlled input was "on" at the time the instrument setup was stored.
