Remote Control: Gpib Commands Compatibility - Keysight 4284A Technical Overview

Appendix 9. Remote Control: GPIB Commands Compatibility
The majority of E4980A remote commands are compatible with the 4284A.
In addition to these commands, the E480A has incorporated new commands that improve measurement throughput.
For example, the E4980A adds the "DISP:ENAB OFF" command which turns the display off saving refresh time.

Note: When the state is ON, and you want to use HOLD
range, you need specify the DC ISO range by using the com-
mand: ":OUTPut:DC:ISOLation:LEVel:VALue".
