Display Commands
:DISPlay[:WINDow][:STATe][?]
Disable or enable the instrument’s front-panel display. When it is disabled,
the front-panel display is blanked and the bulb used to backlight the display
is also switched off. The DISP? query returns “0” (OFF) or “1” (ON).
Sending a message to the front-panel display from the remote interface
(DISP:TEXT command) overrides the display state. This means that you
can display a message even if the display is disabled.
The display is automatically enabled when power is cycled, after an
instrument reset (*RST command), or when you return to local (front panel)
operation. Press the key or execute the IEEE-488 GTL (Go To Local)
command from the remote interface to return to the local state.
