Agilent E8462A Relay Multiplexer Command Reference
DISPlay
The
DISPlay
subsystem monitors the channel state of a selected module (or card) in
a switchbox. The DISPlay command subsystem only operates with a RS-232
terminal connected to the Agilent E1405/1406 command module’s RS-232 port.
These commands control the display on the terminal, and would in most cases be
typed directly from the terminal keyboard. It is possible however, to send these
commands over the GPIB interface, and control the terminal’s display. In this case,
care must be taken that the instrument receiving the DISPlay command is the same
one that is currently selected on the terminal; otherwise, the GPIB command will
have no visible affect.

actually display the monitored module state to the RS-232 terminal.
