When it is in remoote mode, you have to go back to local mode to use the front panel controls, just like any other instrument. From the manual:
When the power supply is in the remote operation mode, you can return to the front panel operation mode at any time by pressing the (Local) key if you did not previously send the front panel lockout command. A change between the front panel and remote operation modes will not result in a change in the output parameters.
