DISP:MODE
Switches the display between its normal metering mode and a mode in which it displays text sent by the user. The command
uses the character data <CRD> format.
DISP:TEXT
Allows character strings to be sent to display. The characters will be displayed when the display mode is TEXT. The LCD
has the following character set:
A display is capable of showing up to 12 characters. However, the three punctuation characters do not count toward the 12-
character limit when they are preceded by an alphanumeric character. When punctuation characters are included, then the
maximum number of characters (alphanumeric + punctuation) that can be displayed is 15. If it exceeds the display capacity,
a message will be truncated to fit and no error message will be generated. If any character in the message is not a member
of the above character set, the character will not be rejected but will be displayed as a "starburst" (all 16 segments of the
character will light).
Note
IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation requires that a string be enclosed in
either single (') or double (") quotes.
