How to Program the Counter to Display Results
Configuring the Counter ' s Display
The Counter has five different display modes:
1. Non-scaled/offset results — frequency, period, time interval, etc. This
display mode is used on power-up.
2. Scaled/offset results— results modified by scale and offset values
3. Limit graph — a graphical look that shows if a measurement is within
limits
4. Statistics— mean, min, max or standard deviation
5. Display Enable— All segments and LEDs (except Remote and SRQ) off
or on
The following command groupings show how to program the Counter to any of
the above display modes.

result.
:DISP:MENU OFF

Note that :CALC2:LIM:DISP NUMBER will only show the raw result if the

issued in pairs.
