Display Enable (Remote Command Only)

Turns the display on/off, including the display drive circuitry. The backlight stays lit so you can tell that
the instrument is on. The display enable setting is mode global.The reasons for turning the display off
are three:
• To increase speed as much as possible by freeing the instrument from having to update the display
• To reduce emissions from the display, drive circuitry
• For security purposes
If you have turned off the display:
• and you are in local operation, the display can be turned back on by pressing any key or by sending
the SYSTem:DEFaults MISC command or the DISPlay:ENABle ON (neither *RST nor
SYSTem:PRESet enable the display.)
• and you are in remote operation, the display can be turned back on by pressing the
or by sending the SYSTem:DEFaults MISC command or the DISPlay:ENABle ON (neither *RST
nor SYSTem:PRESet enable the display.)
and you are using either the SYSTem:KLOCk command or GPIB local lockout, then no front-panel key
press will turn the display back on. You must turn it back on remotely.
