TEXTn=
Purpose Specify text to be written to the MFC-CB's front panel display.
Syntax “TEXTn=text”
Arguments n:
text:
The position on the front display to display the text (1 to 40)
The text to display
Remarks
The MFC-CB normally uses the same displays in remote mode as in local
operation, but the display can also be used to indicate user text. The
"TEXTn=" command clears the display if the normal measurement data is
still being displayed before displaying the text. Subsequent use of this
command simply overwrites the current user text.
Reverting to local operation or selecting a display type ("DISP=" command)
will return the display to normal operation.
Example Command:
Reply:
“TEXT21=The bottom line" (displays on the bottom line)
“The bottom line""
