This command displays buttons and text on the front panel. You can set up scripts that respond to the
buttons when they are selected.
If you send display.BUTTONS_NONE, the operator needs to press the EXIT key to clear the
message from the front-panel display. You can also use the display.delete() command to
remove the prompt.
Only one prompt can be active at a time.
When the user presses a button, the button presses are returned as one of the following options:
• OK: display.BUTTON_OK
• Cancel: display.BUTTON_CANCEL
• Yes: display.BUTTON_YES
• No: display.BUTTON_NO
To capture return values, you need to use displaywait.event() to wait for the user button
selection.
