Conditions
Setting the display items on the list measurement screen
To define each of the four display items (:LAB1 through :LAB4) that appear on the list
measurement screen, use the following command:
• :DISP:TEXT2:LAB{1-4} on page 278
Turning on/off the display
You can instruct the instrument to show or hide all of the displayed items except the menu
bar by using the following command:
• :DISP on page 268
Turning on/off the update of the display
You can instruct the instrument to turn on or off the update of the display by using the
following command:
• :DISP:UPD on page 279
The advantage of the off status is that it allows faster processing speeds of GPIB comannds
than does the on status; on the other hand, its disadvantage is that there is limited update of
the items displayed on the screen.
Turning on/off the backlight of the LCD screen
You can instruct the instrument to turn on or off the backlight of the LCD screen by using
the following command:
• :DISP:BACK on page 268
If the backlight is off, you cannot read displayed information on the screen.
Showing or hiding the title
To choose whether to show or hide the title display area (the topmost area on the screen),
use the following command:
• :DISP:TEXT10 on page 276
To define the title string that appears in the title display area, use the following command:
• :DISP:TEXT10:DATA on page 276
Turning on/off the date display
To choose whether to show or hide the current date and time in the rightmost part of the
status display area, use the following command:
• :DISP:TEXT11 on page 277
Also, you can choose whether to automatically update the time display in increments of 1
minute as time elapses or keep the day, hour, and minute set to the date/time when you
turned on the display. To make this selection, use the following command:
• :DISP:TEXT11:MODE on page 277
