displayed on the status bar.
The syntax and explanation of the commands for locking the front panel are
displayed below:

:SYSTem:LOCK? /*Query whether the front panel is locked*/

The parameters {ON|OFF|1|0} indicate locking or unlocking the front panel. When
the parameter value is ON|1, it indicates locking the front panel; when the parameter
value is OFF|0, it indicates unlocking the front panel.
Brief Descriptions of Commands
Braces { } and vertical bar | are not part of the command, and they are not
sent with the commands, but taken as delimiters to better describe the
parameters in the command. The contents enclosed in the braces can
contain multiple parameter options; and the vertical bar is used to separate
multiple parameter options. When sending the command, you must select
one of the parameters.
The letters in the commands are case-insensitive. The commands can be
input in uppercase letters or in lowercase letters. For abbreviations, you
must enter all the uppercase letters that exist in the command syntax. For
example, :SYSTem:LOCK ON can be abbreviated as :SYST:LOCK ON.
The contents in /*...*/ are explanations for the command.
