Short-form formats: :disp:text:stat?
:disp:wind2:text:stat?
Response message: 1 (on) or 0 (off)
These commands enable and disable the text message modes. When enabled, a defined message
(see previous command) will be shown on the top or bottom portion of the display. When dis-
abled, the message will be removed from the display, and the Model 7001 will resume normal
operation.
A user defined text message remains displayed only as long as the instrument is in remote. Tak-
ing the instrument out of remote (by pressing the LOCAL key or sending LOCAL 707), cancels
the message and disables the text message mode.
10 OUTPUT 707; “:disp:text:stat on; stat?”
20 ENTER 707; A$
30 PRINT A$
40 END
Line 10 Displays a defined user message (see previous command) on the top display, and then
