Display Control
For security reasons, or to speed up the rate at which the waveform
generator can execute commands from the remote interface, you may
want to turn off the front-panel display. From the remote interface,
you can also display a message on the front panel.
• When disabled, the front-panel display is blanked (however, the
display backlight remains enabled). Pressing any key will turn the
screen back on.
•
Sending a message to the front-panel display from the remote interface
overrides the display state. This means that you can display a
message even if the display is currently disabled.
• The display is automatically enabled when power is cycled, after an
instrument reset (*RST command), or when you return to local
(front panel) operation. Press the
key or execute the IEEE-488
GTL (Go To Local) command from the remote interface to return to
the local state.
• The display state is saved when you store the instrument state using
*SAV command. When you recall the instrument state using *RCL
command, the front-panel display will return to the previous state.
• You can display a text message on the front panel by sending a
command from the remote interface. You can use upper- or lower-case
letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and any other character on a standard
computer keyboard.
