Switching the Screen Display On and Off
In the default setting, all remote control commands are carried out with the screen dis-
play switched off in order to attain optimum measurement speed. During the develop-
ment phase of remote control programs, however, the screen display is required in
order to visually check both the programming of the settings and the measurement
results.
The following examples show functions with which the screen display can be switched
on or off during remote control operation.
REM ------------ Switching on the screen display ---------------------------
Public SUB DisplayOn()
CALL InstrWrite(analyzer, "SYST:DISP:UPD ON")
'Switch on screen display
END SUB
REM*************************************************************************
REM ------------ Switching off the screen display --------------------------
Public SUB DisplayOff()
CALL InstrWrite(analyzer, "SYST:DISP:UPD OFF")
'Switch off screen display
END SUB

Configuring the Power Save Function for the Display
During remote control operation, it is often unnecessary to display the measurement
results on screen. Although the command SYSTem:DISPlay:UPDate OFF switches
off the display of the measurement results, thus significantly improving speed in remote
control operation, the display itself and the background lighting in particular remain
switched on.
If you also want to switch off the display itself, you must use the power save function
by setting the response time in minutes prior to activation.
The display is reactivated immediately when you press a key on the instrument's front
panel.
Public SUB PowerSave()
CALL InstrWrite(analyzer, "DISPlay:PSAVe:HOLDoff 1")
'Set response time to 1 minute
CALL InstrWrite(analyzer, "DISPlay:PSAVe ON")
'Switch on Power Save function
Sending Simple Instrument Setting Commands
This example shows how the center frequency, span and reference level of the instru-
ment are set.
