Display Commands

:DISPlay:LINE

Command
:DISPlay:LINE "<string_argument>"
The :DISPlay:LINE command writes a quoted string to the screen, starting
at the location specified by the :DISPlay:ROW and :DISPlay:COLumn
commands.
<string
Any series of ASCII characters enclosed in quotation marks.
_argument>
Example This example writes the message "Infiniium Test" to the screen, starting at
the current row and column location.
myScope.WriteString ":DISPLAY:LINE ""Infiniium Test"""
When using the C programming language, quotation marks within a string
are escaped using the backslash (\) character as shown in the next
example. This example writes the message "Infiniium Test" to the screen.
printf("\"Infiniium Test\"");
You may write text up to column 94. If the characters in the string do not
fill the line, the rest of the line is blanked. If the string is longer than the
space available on the current line, the excess characters are discarded.
In any case, the ROW is incremented and the COLumn remains the same.
The next :DISPlay:LINE command will write on the next line of the
display. After writing the last line in the display area, the ROW is reset to
0.
