Part 6: IEEE 488.2 Command Reference
DISPLAY Commands and Queries
DISPLAY, DISP
Description
The DISPLAY command controls the display screen of the oscilloscope. When remotely controlling the
oscilloscope, and if you do not need to use the display, it can be useful to switch off the display via the
DISPLAY OFF command. This improves oscilloscope response time, since the waveform graphic
generation procedure is suppressed.
In addition, when the oscilloscope is in the DISPLAY OFF mode, certain LEDs and the periodic backup of
the oscilloscope settings are disabled to avoid unnecessary interruptions.
The response to the DISPLAY? query indicates the display state of the oscilloscope.
Note: When you set the display to OFF, the screen does not actually go blank. Instead, the real-time
clock and the message field are continuously updated. but waveforms and associated text are
frozen.
Command Syntax
DISPLAY <state>
<state>:= ON or OFF
Query Syntax
DISPLAY?
Response Format
DISPLAY <state>
Example (GPIB)
The following instruction turns off the display:
CMD$="DISP OFF": CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)
