Description
Display a text message on the instrument’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 instrument will choose one of two
font sizes to display the message. 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
Example
:DISP:TEXT “TEST 1 is running.”
