The seventh digit in the ASCII format
corresponds to the "Cal" or HIRES digit
of the front panel display.
In
some ranges and functions (e.g., 100
mV
dc)
this digit is permanently
zeroed since it exceeds the resolution
of
the instrument. (When in the
"Cal" or HIRES mode, the front
panel will display the value of the reading
rounded to six
significant
digits.)
The "D" command characters turn the DMM front
panel display on or off.
When the "DO" command
is
used,
the instrument will
no
longer interrogate any of the front panel switches
(local lockout). The display will be turned On when the
ASCII output format is commanded.
LOCAL
LOCKOUT CONTROL
The "L" command characters select the local lockout
condition, in which the
display remains
activated while
none of the front panel switches affect the
instrument.
