Display Options
Display Options configures the display.
You can enable or disable the display, adjust the brightness (10 to 100%), enable or disable the screen saver, and pick
a color scheme. If you turn off the display, press any front-panel key to turn it on again.
By default, the screen saver turns off and blanks the screen after eight hours of inactivity. You may disable this screen
saver from the front panel only.
The display is enabled when power is cycled, after an instrument reset (*RST), or when you return to local (front panel)
operation. Press the [Local] key or execute the IEEE-488 GTL (Go To Local) command from the remote interface to
return to the local state.
SCPI ID
SCPI ID determines the instrument's response to a *IDN? query. Choices include 34401A and either 34460A or
34461A (depending on instrument model). This enables *IDN? compatibility with existing programs that expect *IDN?
to return a value appropriate to a 34401A.
Date / Time
Date / Time sets the instrument's real-time clock, which always uses a 24-hour format (00:00:00 to 23:59:59).
There is no automatic setting of the date and time, such as to adjust for daylight savings time. Use the front-panel
arrow keys to set the year, month, day, hour, and minute.
Power on Message
Power on Message sets a message that is displayed when the instrument powers up and when you press [Help] >
About.
Use the front-panel arrows and [Select] key to select the letters. Then press Done to exit and save the message. The
message will appear as shown below when you turn the instrument on or press [Help] > About.
