Query DELAY? Returns delay time in seconds.
Description The DELAY command programs the time interval between the trigger event and the first sample event
in seconds. Although the valid parameter range is from 1E-7s to 6000s, the Model 2002 rounds any
value below 1ms (0.001s) to 1ms. Specifying a delay of 0 selects the minimum delay time possible.
Example DELAY 50E-3 Program 50ms delay.

Query DISP? Returns present value of <control> parameter.
Description The DISP command enables/disables the multimeter's display and may be used to send a message to
the display, or to clear the display. ON selects normal operation. OFF displays a message if a valid
message parameter has been sent; otherwise, all dashes are displayed. Readings are no longer dis-
played, and the display is not updated, except to service front panel keystrokes. The MSG parameter
simply displays a message on the front panel, and the CLR parameter clears the display entirely. The
<message> parameter is any string up to 52 characters enclosed in double quotation marks.
Example DISP OFF Turn off display.
DISP ON Enable normal display operation.
DISP MSG, "Model 2002" Display message.
