Display

The display functions and attributes allow you to change the format of information on the front-panel
display of the instrument. You can also customize your display.
display.changescreen()
display.clear()
display.delete()
display.input.number()
display.input.option()
display.input.prompt()
display.input.string()
display.lightstate
display.prompt()
display.readingformat
display.settext()
display.waitevent()

Event log

You can use the event log to view specific details about LAN triggering events.
eventlog.clear()
eventlog.getcount()
eventlog.next()
eventlog.post()
eventlog.save()

File

You can use the file commands to open and close directories and files, write data, or to read a file on
an installed USB flash drive.
The root folder of the USB flash drive has the absolute path:
"/usb1/"
You can use either the slash (/) or backslash (\) as a directory separator. However, the backslash is
also used as an escape character, so if you use it as a directory separator, you will generally need to
use a double backslash (\\) when you are creating scripts or sending commands to the instrument.
