Details
Sending this command selects the user screen and then moves the cursor to the given location.
The display.clear(), display.setcursor(), and display.settext() functions are
overlapped commands. That is, the script does not wait for one of these commands to complete.
These functions do not immediately update the display. For performance considerations, they update
the display as soon as processing time becomes available.
An out-of-range parameter for row sets the cursor to row 2. An out-of-range parameter for column
sets the cursor to column 20 for row 1, or 32 for row 2.
An out-of-range parameter for style sets it to 0 (invisible).
A blinking cursor is only visible when it is positioned over displayed text. It cannot be seen when
positioned over a space character.
Example
display.clear()
display.setcursor(1, 8)
display.settext("Hello")
display.setcursor(2, 14)
display.settext("World")
This example displays a message on the
front panel, approximately center. Note that
the top line of text is larger than the bottom
line of text.
The front panel of the instrument displays
"Hello" on the top line and "World" on the
second line.
