:DISPlay:STATe <0|1|OFF|ON>
:DISPlay:STATe?
These commands control the front-panel display.
The DIAGnostic:DISPlay:INFOrmation command is used to write
messages to the display. The message parameter is a string that can
contain up to 13 characters. You can enter the string in lower case
characters, but the display only shows upper case characters. In
addition, each character (except the 13th) can be trailed by any one of
four special characters (, . : ;). These “trailer” special character are not
counted as one of the thirteen characters. Valid characters include:.
The DIAGnostic:DISPlay:STATe command turns the front-panel
display on or off. The ADRS, RMT, and ERROR annunciators may turn
on even when the front-panel display is turned off. After an instrument
power-on or a reset command (*RST), the display will be turned on.
The DIAGnostic:DISPlay:STATe? query returns the display status.
The returned value is either a “0” or a “1”, indicating the display is
turned off or on, respectively.
