DISPlay:TEXT <quoted string>
DISPlay:TEXT?
Display a text message on the function generator’s front-panel display. Sending a
text message to the display overrides the display state as set by the DISP
command. The :TEXT? query reads the message sent to the front-panel display
and returns a quoted string.
– You can use upper- or lower-case letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and any other
character on a standard computer keyboard. Depending on the number of
characters you specify in the string, the function generator will choose one of
two font sizes to display the message. You can
display approximately 12
characters in a large font and approximately
40 characters in a small font. An
example is shown below.
DISP:TEXT 'Test in Progress...'
– While a message is displayed, information relating to the output waveform,
such as frequency and amplitude, is not sent to the front-panel display.
DISPlay:TEXT:CLEar
Clear the text message currently shown on the function generator’s front-panel
display.
– If the display is currently enabled (DISP ON command), the DISP:TEXT:CLEAR
command will return the normal front-panel display mode.
– If the display is currently disabled (DISP OFF command), the
DISP:TEXT:CLEAR command will clear the message but the display will
remain disabled. To enable the display, send the DISP ON command, press the
key, or send the GTL (Go To Local) command for GPIB or USB. (For LAN
you can send the SYST:COMM:RLST LOC command.)
*RST
Reset the function generator to its factory default state, independent of the
MEM:STAT:REC:AUTO command setting. However, *RST does not affect stored
instrument states, stored arbitrary waveforms, or the I/O settings, which are
stored in non-volatile memory. This command will abort a sweep or burst in
progress and will re-enable the front-panel display if it was previously disabled
(DISP OFF command).
